Laowai

I’ve felt like sewing lately… more than anything else. Just lock me away in the sewing room and I’m a happy girl. 

My furniture is really getting abused by my children and it shows. So I made this quilted cover thingy to cover some of the stains on my chair. I quickly pulled all the yellow and brown and cream colored fabrics that I could find. Sometimes when I go to choose fabrics for a quilt project it’s the ones that I do quickly and without agonizing that I like best. Now I need to do something for my poor couch – it’s getting embarassingly grungy.

We made this cute game – the PB&J game – out of some felt. You have to roll the die to build your sandwich with the bread , jelly and peanut butter pieces. 

And lastly I made a dress for Claire. It’s that simple, easy peasant style pattern that I’ve used many times. I added a pocket for kitties. Ignore the wrinkles – she just had a nap:

I think we have some rainy days ahead so I’m going to go busy myself in the sewing room some more…
