Here are my latest sewing projects. Don’t be fooled into thinking these summery clothes mean that it feels anything close to summer here. It’s feeling blustery, chilly and crisp. Every night we step out onto the patio and that fresh Fall air hits me and then I instantly have a yearning for the smell of singed pumpkin. You know that smell you get when you put a candle inside a pumpkin – oh I love that!

These are Bea and Claire’s first matching outfits. The shirt is the 2+2 blouse pattern from Oliver + S again. And the little dress for Claire is that easy peasy lemon squeezy pinafore pattern. I’ve had the flower fabric in my stash for a long time and the pink fabric is an old maternity shirt. Bea has been wearing her shirt but Claire will have to grow into her dress.

And here’s a photo from this afternoon. Don’t tell my Dad – that is snow on them thar hills.
