Grain and Gusset Popover Pinafore.

I got this pattern/tutorial earlier this spring.  I hadn't got a chance to use it until now.  This is a great tutorial.  It's super-easy to follow and just makes sense.  Plus, it's adorable.

Oh, what was that?  You need pictures as proof?  Well, I've got them.  I got Tillie all dressed up in it and then realized the good camera was still at Camp.  KodakEasyShare pictures it is!

I wish I hadn't cut her hair off in this picture.

And best of all, it's reversible.

Christmas in July! (or August...)

At Camp we have a Christmas in July homemade gift exchange.  I decided to make my recipient a bag.  After perusing Etsy for patterns, I decided on the June Bag from MayAndMae.  The pattern was a little more difficult and involved than I was planning on, but it's a darling little bag.  I'm kind of sad I couldn't keep it.

I used fusible fleece and I made a button hole!  Yay for learning new things!

It even has a back pocket.

I love long straps on bags.

The best part about sewing projects is picking out the fabric.
