My Sewing Weekend

My weekend is done and I feel so productive. I completed all of the garments on my list and I am thrilled! I made four pair of pants for my grandson, a john-john suit for him and a skirt for my granddaughter. I am very pleased with the outcome...and that is a great feeling when you try a new pattern and hope it looks as cute as the picture. I posted earlier a picture of the skirt pattern so give it a try of you like it...it really does take longer to cut it out than it takes to make it! I think it needs a little embellishing on the front as I did with a piece of rick rack and a button. 
The pants I made are from a pattern I posted this summer that I use for all of my grandson's pants. I really like it and it can be made with cargo pockets or back pockets. They take no time to make....and if you use a serger your work will be cut in half! They are made from the "Britches and Bloomers" pattern. I used the car fabric and gingham lining to make a pair of the pants and I think they turned out to be my favorite.  
I used the Collars pattern that I also posted this summer to make the car cloth john-john suit. I lined it with orange/green gingham. It is a great pattern...always makes up so easily and so quickly...and looks so professional when you get through. 
I have celebrated National Sewing Month this weekend....YEAH! Happy creating to you!


PS...I must add this. My clever daughter had some adorable labels made for me for my birthday to put in the clothes I make for my grandkids. The last picture is of the labels...I LOVE them and feel so special using them! Cute, huh?!
