Spring is Coming!

I do not know about you but here in Tennessee it has felt like spring for the past few days. This puts me in a "you had better sew now before you want to be outside all day" mood. I happened upon some adorable madras patch cloth here at our Hobby Lobby....I LOVE to find cute things by accident! Anyway....I immediately saw some boys pants (for those early spring days when you still need something on their legs) and bought enough to make a pair of shorts too. I love these madras patch materials.....they work up so well and they are priced well at Hobby Lobby. Check yours out! The seersucker/alligator pants are another adorable cloth I found at my local fabric store...I am almost certain that it is the same cloth featured in the Kelly's Kids catalog for this spring and summer....it is such fun to see these things made up in cute kid's clothing. Once again I used the "Britches and Bloomers" pattern for the pants....so easy and almost completely done on a serger...and used a short pattern for the shorts since last year's models did not turn out as well without a pattern. I added the pockets because I am convinced that those small touches add a professional look to any home sewing project.
Enjoy this wonderful weather!
