Betty says what?

by Julie Hirt

Remember this?   I was able to turn it into a large runner, 4 place mats and STILL have enough leftover to use on something else.   Maybe another scrappy dishtowel? Except not so scrappy.  The remnant is about 6″ x the length as the runner.  I’m just surprised all of this came from one little honey bun of fabric.  Woot woot.

 

 

The runner is backed in chocolate and all pieces have a layer of warm & natural sandwiched between the front and back.  I’m really glad I went with chocolate for the place mats – I’m not stressing out about food getting on them.  Which would be dumb anyway because that’s what they’re for.

Bubble Pop Dress

by Julie Hirt

I made a little bubble skirt dress for my niece, Madison.
Pretty straight forward pattern: Simplicity 2432 View B Size 3.

Had a few cuss words fly out of my mouth when I was working on the back zipper. Mainly because I’m still not that comfortable with them. Luckily it looks right and, most important, it zips. Fabric is just basic cotton from Joann’s and was a very last minute buy.  The patterns were on sale for $2 so I thought I’d give it a try.

Now I just hope it fits!
