My lotion exploded, so I had to make myself a new purse. Always finding excuses to sew! I'd been holding off using this cute blue canvas, but I finally had the right project to use it for! Paired with the pink I think it is quite a fabulous little bag. French seams and box corners for the bottom (like the grocery bags) and the top is folded over (similar to the top of a pillowcase) so no exposed seams, without adding a lining. Sounds silly, but I'm pretty proud of it, especially since I just made it up as I went along.
But on to more important things. Kids Clothes Week! To go with the toys theme, the fabric is covered with drawings of fairy princesses. And what does Cupcake love to play with? Fairies and princesses, and she loves to draw. The fabric (which was actually a couple of pillowcases) suits her perfectly.
I've been wanting to make the Pleated Square Tunic from Shwin & Shwin since I saw it well over a year ago. I really like square necklines, and the pleats are adorable (and not too complicated to figure out!). Bonus of no closure! Basically, just a fabulous little top to whip up in an evening or two.
I'm not sure how much more I'll get done for KCW. If nothing else, I'll get started on her Easter dress - The Pinwheel Tunic by Oliver + S. I already made over 10 yards of bias tape for it! Then there are a couple of nightgowns for Cupcake and her cousin Kitty before our trip to Idaho in April, and eventually I'll start on a few quilts too. So much fun to look forward to!
