Girls - Appliques and Shorts

I've been really BUSY sewing...thank you!  I keep thinking I need to stop and do a few things for my daughter...then the weather turns cold here again, and I forget about it for a few days.   I have a bathing suit pattern to try for Emily Kathryn.  It came out in the Sew Beautiful magazine last year and has become really popular.  I've seen it for sale in several places.  So I'll attempt it soon.  I also have a couple of patterns I keep thinking I want to draw...and a small (not really that small) stack of fabric to use for them:)

I'm counting down the weeks I have left teaching math at a local junior college (4 more incase you are wondering).  I really like it, but by the end of the semester I'm always counting down!  The students are too I'm sure:)  It's been great teaching...so I'll be doing again this summer but luckily it won't be on Saturdays:)

Enjoy the pictures!

(a friend brought me these bloomers)

I made bloomers to go with the shirts below....

(love this little sheep...it would be so cute on a knit gown)

2 New Things

FIRST, I finally joined the world of Facebook and started a business page for Sew Happy.  Feel free to go and "like" it and even send it to all your friends:) Shameless plug I know!

SECOND, my sewing patterns are officially being offered in a Sewing Shop.  When I listed them on etsy a couple of months ago, I never really thought beyond that....but you just never know what can happen...so I'm giving it a try.  The patterns are being sold at Sew Close to Home is in Harpersville, AL.  If you live close by you have to check them out.  I met the owner Sue and she is fantastic.  I plan to make a trip to Sew Close to Home to do a little fabric shopping VERY soon!  Oh, and while you are "liking" my page you can "like" her page too:)

Here are a few pictures to throw in.  I have been sewing shorts like crazy.  I have a pile of finished stuff on my kitchen table to take pictures of, but I got absorbed in FB today!

Girl Outfits

PRECIOUS girl outfits with AMAZING fabrics.  People email me all the time because they can't make up their mind....here's a little secret....I usually can't make up my mind either:)  There's just so much CUTE fabric out there!!! 

You'll definitely be seeing the fabric below again.  I emailed my customer as soon as she sent it to me to ask where it came from.  I have a new pattern in mind and plan to use this fabric to make it:)

 Just SO cute!!!

Vacation

I have thoroughly enjoyed my week of vacation (and it's not quite over yet).  Emily Kathryn and I headed to visit my parents for a few days and then met my husband and his family at the beach.  The weather has been amazing in both places and we have loved every minute!  EmK is finally at the age that she likes to play on the beach, so I LOVED being able to relax in a chair and watch her for hours:)  

In a day or two we will be headed back to Birmingham.  Spring is officially here and I'll be working hard to finish all the orders I have so your kids can start enjoying spring clothes:)  Until then, here's a few pictures....

...and shorts for twins:)
