Finished Jean Quilt


My jean quilt!  It took over a year but I finished my jean quilt.  I used about three pairs of old jeans and various colors of kona cotton.  I straight line stitched it on my machine and now it is hanging on my living room wall.

Shorts and Hats


New shorts in bus print linen for my oldest, pattern in the book Sewing For Boys.  Plus two finished Garter flap hats for my boys, pattern by Purlbee.com.   I love these hats, I have made 4 or 5 already!

The Foxes

I have to share the foxes I finished last month.  I love making stuff for my boys and they loved them!
The pattern is by Alicia Paulson and called Mr. Basil Fox.  Love that they are hand sewn. 

Here is my Liv Cardigan by Madder Made.  The yarn was a unmarked wool that my sister scored at a yardsale.  I still can't believe I knitted a sweater!

Foxes for the Dudes











This week the boys and I drove out to see my bothers new house he is building, it has the best views. Taj really loved it there.  My littlest guy is turning 2 on the 19th so I am working on a Mr. Basil Fox for him and of course I have to make one for big brother.  I am so excited to have a surprise for them.
Now I am going to make their outfits.  Who knew doll making could be so fun!
