Summer Sewing Begins!

I love this time of year.  The weather is getting warmer and the summer stretches ahead.  It's been a rough year with the knee surgery and recovery and getting both pneumonia and strep on opposite ends of the school year.  I am SO READY for summer!

Since we're enjoying a long weekend, it was time to do some cleaning off & out in the sewing room.  I have a bag of goodies ready for donating and a cutting table I can actually use again.  In fact, I got it a bit messy yesterday again when I cut out and sewed up a onesie for my three and a half month old grandson.  I think Mr. O will love the softness of the outfit, and for hot weather it's perfect.  It's probably a little big now, but he'll probably grow out of it before the summer is over.

The pattern is a McCall's and I got the great baby boy print when I was recently in Wichita at the Needle Nook. I love that store!

I've also finished a set of placemats for my Mom (had to bind them) and did a little mending.  Trying to decide what to do next--maybe some more shorts for Miss V.  Next time I see the granddaughters I have to get the measurements for the twins as the ones I have are too old and I really want to do some more sewing for them.  They start kindergarten this year, so I see some really cute dresses in their future!
