Baby Blankets

My oldest son's best friend found out he's having twins ( girls), my son decided that he wanted me to make the girls baby blankets from him. I  took  my oldest to the local sewing store and he picked out all the fabrics for the baby blankets, he decided that he wanted them double fleece and with a fleece border going around them. I decided that since these blankets were done in fleece that I wasn't going to put batting in between them. I love the fleece that my son picked out for these baby blankets. The size I ended up with for these baby blankets was 52" x 60". I made them bigger so that way when the girls are growing they can use them as bigger blankets. I also embroidered the girl's name's on them. My son decided that the embroidery should be done with variegated thread. With all the pinks for these blankets, I think it looks really cute

Simplicity 2336: Khaliah ali Collection

I just finished making the Simplicity 2336: Khaliah Ali Collection , This pattern is Misses'/women's Skirt , Pants, Jacket and Knit dress And Tops. I made View D: The Jacket and View B one of the Tops. Both the Jactet and Top are for stretch knits only. For the jacket I used was a Charcoal Gray interlock knit. I love the color and the way this jacket flows, it reminds me of a swing coat , only lighter.  The Top I made was out of a rayon-lycra knit. I love this fabric's colors so I decided this is the top I want!!!!

New Projects

I've got a bunch new projects under way! First is a Jalie pattern for men 2328, I'm making Cory a thermal shirt. Second I'm makig Khaliah Ali Collection, pattern # 2336 from Simplicity. In this collection I'm making A shirt, pants and jacket, unfortantly the pants will not match anything but, thant's ok, I need a pair of pants to run around in. My wardrobe is really lacking style right now, I need a few pieces to help bump it up.

Denim Rug

You can see the back side of the rug with all the lines for were all the denim rectangle pieces were sewn.

Denim Rug

This rug is finished, but you can see the rows of rectangles sewn to the big piece of denim. I ssewed them about 3/4 of an inch from each row(you'll be able to tell better in the next picture). The rugs fluff up after you wash them and the boys think they look awsome in their rooms.
