My cousin's wedding was last November, and I knew I wanted to make Ev a dress. (She continues to call it "my wedding dress!") </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I knew it would need long sleeves and I was excited to try a maxi length for the first time. I bought the fabric using my 1/2 Birthday Discount at our local quilt shop (The Pincushion). It is Art Gallery, but I can't remember the designer or line name. </div>

I'm not one to bash a pattern or pattern designer... by CKC is well known to be a lower-end pattern designer. I don't even follow them on Facebook anymore. Sometimes, though, you just want to do a quick and simple sew without having to adjust anything. That's what Kamry is!</div>

The pattern itself was pretty horrible - when the pieces all have rectangular edges and no curves, you know it's not designed to fit well... But, it turned out a cute tunic! </div>

This is one of the first pieces of clothing that I made him that he was excited about. It was finally his turn to try on something! Plus, it matched the fabric on his sister's and my sweaters. He did not wear this often - it was almost too small. I do want to try making another one of these for him soon though. I love vests!</div>

Every year MOPS puts on a photo fundraiser - you get a 15minutes with a photographer and a CD with 5 edited pictures on it... all for $50. Half of that goes to our MOPS group, while the photographer ears the other half. We are so thankful for the photographers that partner with us! </div>

I took these pictures after the session last year - they are still smiling! She's wearing a Hey June Hatteras sweatshirt while he's in a Peekaboo Pattern Shop's Happy Feet Pajamas raglan sweatshirt. Other than a thrifted pillowcase for her front fabric, the rest of the fabric is a combo of cotton-lycra jersey and french terry from Raspberry Creek Fabrics.</div>

Then, when we take the annual family picture with Dan's side, we usually take another family picture of just us as well. (My top is a Love Notions La Bella Donna Top - french terry from Raspberry Creek Fabrics. I made it two years ago, and it was the first top I made for myself since Montana.)</div>

After making my kids their hats, my college friends' kids their hats (6 or 7 of them) and another two hats for a friend-here-in-town's kids... I've definitely made good use of this pattern! </div>

And then a Vikings and a Twins set...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a quick and easy pattern, and fleece comes in so many options! But, I think my kids still fit in theirs, so I think my to-sew list is hat-free this fall! I'm sure the following year I'll have to make a few more... but if their old hats fit for one more year that means they will have lasted three winters! Can't beat that!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Turns out that I posted back when I made that first batch of Jackrabbit hats... almost two years ago! (<a href="http://banksoffrogcreek.blogspot.com/2016/01/lots-of-jackrabbit-hats.html">Here</a>)<br />

And a few more... I've already got plans for painting more this Christmas, but I don't think it will be as many! It's always a battle to decide what needs to be done and what I really want to be doing. Between sewing and painting, I have plenty of crafty plans to undertake!</div>

Earlier this summer, I received the ENTIRE line of <a href="https://www.michaelmillerfabrics.com/shop/collections/in-bloom.html">Sandra Clemons' In Bloom</a> for Michael Miller Fabrics. One yard of each print (24 prints!)... just for winning a giveaway on Facebook - I felt pretty lucky! The giveaway was through <a href="https://www.sewingportfolios.com/">Sewing Portfolios</a> which is an amazing resource for anyone wanting to get more involved and connected in the sewing community online. I have come to realize that I have so much on my sewing to-do list, that I don't have time to PDF pattern test any more (but if the right pattern comes along, I may still apply!) Thus, currently, I use Sewing Portfolios to keep track of my makes and for motivation to keep taking "nice" photos of those makes. </div>

That sewing to-do list is the reason that I couldn't cut into the amazing fabric right away. I knew that I wanted to make E's first day of preschool dress, so I was able to start planning that, even as I finished sewing a pile of knit clothes for the two kiddos. </div>

I didn't expect E to love-love it, due to the lack of PINKNESS, but surprisingly, she actually does love it! She asked me to make her Halloween costume just like it (she wanted to be a silver fairy, but after seeing this dress, she wants to be a *colorful* fairy... )</div>

As for the rest of the fabric... I currently have 4 <a href="https://mypatchwork.wordpress.com/2011/05/02/tote-bag-tutorial/">patchwork totes</a> cut out (Christmas presents!!). James will eventually get a reversible vest (<a href="http://www.sewmuchado.com/shop/schoolboy-vest-pdf-pattern">Schoolboy Vest by Sew Much Ado</a>) from two of the <i>linger</i> prints and Ev's Thanksgiving Dress will be from the <i>wine</i> colorway (<a href="http://www.sewmuchado.com/shop/magrath-dress-tunic-pdf-pattern">Magrath Dress by Sew Much Ado</a>). </div>

It was a hard year for my high school graduation class - this fall, one classmate lost her husband to a hard-fought battle with brain cancer. Two months later, we lost a classmate in a tragic hunting accident where he and his younger brother both lost their lives. I graduated with about 40 other students after spending the previous 13 years together in the same building... so we're a tight-knit class, and these losses were very hard to deal with.</div>

Well, that classmate who died in the hunting accident died about a week or so before his birthday. On that birthday, his little girl was born. I wasn't quite ready to cut up my senior shirt, but thankfully a classmate mailed me his, so I could make this bunny for the new baby. May she always know the love of her father and the support from his classmates.</div>

The little girlie likes to match! It is inevitable that when I make something for myself, that she will ask several times if she gets to have something that matches! Truth be told, I'm not huge on matching... I feel a bit silly and too-cutesy-cutesy for my taste... but she won't want to match forever, plus it gives me a way to use up some scraps, so I'll continue to make a few more matching outfits every now and then :)</div>

Remember when I tested two different patterns for Sew Much Ado Patterns last year? Well, Abby (the designer) gifts each pattern tester a free pattern from her collection as a thank-you for helping with the process. The first pattern I chose was the Schoolboy Vest, and then the second pattern I chose was the Pretty-in-Peplum top and dress. Let's just say that I went crazy with making these once I received the pattern!!!</div>

I won this "Happy Fall Y'all" panel from Peekaboo Pattern Shop, so I purchased just a little bit of coordinating material to make a fall top for Ev. It probably didn't get worn as much as it could have because we were having difficulties understanding the difference between a one-day holiday and a full season... toddler/preschoolers... :)</div>

Last, but not least, I made coordinating tops for Ev and her cousins! I finished them in time for Kae's birthday celebration last October! The girls really do love matching, and these tops are so easy and quick! The green fabric is designed by Lizzy House, but I can't remember which fabric manufacturer she designs for. The solids either came from my local shop or from Raspberry Creek Fabrics on Etsy.</div>

It was perfect for Evelyn's first theater experience... we had a mother-daughter date to the area's community theater production of the Little Mermaid. She was a little scared of both King Triton and Ursula, but she still loves to talk about it every time we pass the theater!</div>

But, that's what I did. Peek-a-boo Pattern Shop released a sock pattern (Cozy Critter Socks), and I couldn't stop myself, ha! I dug through my scrap bag and found these cotton-lycra bits left over from multiple projects. </div>

Now that both of these pairs have had to be retired due to feet growing and holes worn in the bottoms, I look forward to being able to squeeze a few more in sometime during a break in my to-sew list :) I love using up scraps and the kids will love the new socks!</div>
