Sewing in September

Voting has begun for the Children/Babies Contest at Pattern Review! If you're a member of PR, don't forget to vote. : ) I will tell you this---you'll have a hard time deciding which entry to vote for---there are some fabulous entries to choose from.

In addition to sewing the jacket for the contest, I sewed a few more items last month....

The month of September was National Sewing Month, and that's what I did in my every spare minute. I sewed! And what fun I had!


I won't bore you with the details, but if you want to know more, check out my reviews on
Pattern Review. Mostly I sewed for Emily who has grown so much this summer that she really needed some clothes.

I just love sewing for little girls! I'm sure you've heard the news, but I'm going to have a new little girl to sew for in November! Not mine, but my soon-to-come granddaughter! Yes, I'm so excited that I'm having another grandchild!

On to the pictures of my September sewing projects....

happy sewing,
Ruth

  4. Lovely as always! I tried to vote, but couldn't log in due to old e-mail address and so signed up again with new e-mail address and now I can't vote for three months! UGH! Hope you win anyway.

  6. Wow! You made a lot this last month! I'm still just dream sewing, but you are definitely inspirational especially since I have some of the same/similar patterns and fabrics and also the same size to sew for.

  7. Great items. I checked out the Ottobre after I saw you mentioned it here and I love it. Unfortunately it's a bit too expensive for me right now. Love what you have done though!
