Spring Pants

I am in love. 

With my girl and my hubby, of course.  

But also with this fabric and these pants.

They pants are Anna Maria Horner's Quick Change Trousers from Handmade Beginnings.

The pattern is for reversible pants, but I wanted something a little lighter for summer, so only made one layer with a cuff.  They were so quick to put together and very easy!

Although. I must admit. I didn't start them until about 10:30 at night. And, I had a TON of work I was supposed to be doing.  BUT, what's a girl going to do when she finds  adorable fabric--on sale no less-- and it's just staring at her? Taunting her.  

Sew me! Sew me! 

So I sewed. And drank quite a bit of coffee the next day!

I think it was worth it. (Karis does too.)

I wanted Karis to show off her new trousers at church, but thought they needed a little dressing up, so I made a quick bow.

I used, roughly, this pattern from The Purl Bee.  

LOVE it!

I think more of these fabric flower bows may be in Karis' future. 

And, definitely more of these pants!

Baby Boy Blanket

It's a boy!

These are words we don't hear often in our family of pink.  So I got a little bit excited when one of my best friends told us she was having a boy. It's not often I get to play with baby boy blues after all.

I fell in love with this fabric. Even the name is cute: "Child's Play With Kate & Nate." I am going to have to check out more of Sheri Berry's fabrics! 

I just love the little dogs and trains! Perfect for a little boy. 

I also adore the corduroy on the back. I can't wait for little fingers to explore the different textures- my girl has already had fun playing with it as I worked on it! 

I could go on and on about this adorable fabric... but I won't. Instead, I have to finish stitching the last edge of the binding down. Our little friend joined the world last night, and I need to finish sewing so we can go meet him later today!

Don't forget to meet Audra, our Meet a Mama this week as well as everyone's creations on Fabric Tuesday!
