A Few New Projects...

I haven't done as much sewing lately as I would like. Partly because I'm having trouble deciding what to focus on (quilts or clothes) and partly because I'm a little unmotivated right now for some reason. However, I recently made this "Happy Stacker" for my friend, Julianne, who will have a baby boy very soon. It turned out okay...it was a tough one, but I learned a lot and hopefully the next one will turn out even better! I think I will add some ribbons next time for some more texture.

I made them a pair of shoes like the ones pictured below.

I have made Gabi a couple of nightgowns out of some soft knit fabric that I bought for a different project, but never got around to making. She loves them, so I may need to make more!
I also made the girls some matching shirts. They turned out pretty cute and I learned how to gather fabric using elastic thread. It is way easier than I thought it would be, so I will be using this pattern a lot to make both shirts and dresses.Gabi's yo-yo quilt is still only half done. I need to get after it! 400 more yo-yos to stich on and then binding before I start on Maya's. My goal is to have them done before we move into our new house (4-5 months).
