Celebrating National Sewing Month...or a good excuse to SEW!!

I am now deeply into teaching my math courses at the high school where I work...and desperately missing the creative juices that seem to flow so freely when I am not busy trying to prepare lessons and grade papers. So...a sweet young friend, Kim, reminded me last week that it is National Sewing Month and I felt I should take this weekend to celebrate! It also helps that my sweet grandchildren need clothes for these "it is too warm to be fall but we need something besides summer clothes to wear" days. I got busy last night cutting out the patterns and was thrilled to wake up this morning to rain...another GREAT excuse to sew all day today as I welcomed in the SEC football season. I LOVE SEC football and it is wonderful company while I sew away in my bonus room. My husband has gotten accustomed to my screams coming from upstairs when my chosen team scores. He learned early that it was NOT me sewing a needle into my finger...even though I have done that, too!
Here are some early pictures of the cloth and patterns that I am using. I will get back to you as soon as I put the finishing touches on everything. The 3 cloths pictures together are for a skirt I am making for my 4 year old granddaughter. I cannot wait to see how it turns out! The brown cloth with cars, motorcycles and bikes is for a pair of pants and john-john suit for my 2 year old grandson. Be back soon to give you the results!!
