Sew many distractions!


Summer is officially over according to the school calendar :) and I'm quite excited to be home with my 2 little people underfoot. I've done a little sewing recently, along with some roller coaster riding, anniversary celebrating (in-laws :) ), party planning, landscaping, phone shopping (haven't bought one yet), and preparing for school.
Sewing was by far my favorite.
(Roller coasters might be in the running too, shhh... )

I have a couple things I'm pretty excited about, first
-I'm finally making progress on my pif! I'm using every bit of my 365 days *blush*
-I did a great little embroidery for my in-laws for their anniversary! Along with 280 reasons we love them! It was their 40th anniversary so we did 40 reasons (or close to that amount :) ) we love them from each of the grandkids. They're all scrolled up behind a snap closing pocket on the back of the embroidery.
-And last this is a swap block I made a dozen of on the last day of summer!
They are a pattern of my own design. They had to go together quickly and I think I'm going to keep working on the pattern to fine tune it but I like the colors and design!

I promised you fireworks didn't I!

I promised you fireworks and here they are!

Along with pictures of all the other Jenean Morrison dresses I made!
This Fireworks tunic is adorable the directions required a little improvisation :) but it turned out great I think lots of great detail with the neckline and hem!
This Mingle Sundress is one of my favorites!
I love the contrast and happy fabric! Isn't it pretty! It feels like summer to me!

This one I think is going to be a great anytime anywhere dress!
It's made out of Pop dots from the Picnic Parade line.

I love the little gathering at the neck and cuff! The ruffle and contrasting belt give a great accent! It makes this dress so fun and feminine!

It was great fun to play with this great fabric! I've got several more projects going with them and can't wait to post them! Which fabric is your favorite? I know I've got mine! With several runners up :) and it might change tomorrow... ahh heck I love them all! Great fabric Jenean! I can't wait for your next line!

( Psst! She's got a little preview up of California Dreamin on her site go check it out
and tell her I sent you! )

Happy Sewing!
