The idea of the new birth that eggs bring is such a beautiful idea.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come. 2 Corinthians 5: 17
We didn’t dye Easter eggs this year. Instead, I spent a few minutes stitching up these. Addie and Christopher stuffed them for me.
The pattern is from Sweetwater’s little sprout collection. I love these quick little patterns. They give me a great way to use up tiny bits of fun new fabric collections.
Along with all the seersucker and Easter pieces I’m shipping to my customers, I’ve got 2 other projects on the cutting table right now.
1. Pants for the boy. He hates zippers. But…he’s almost 8! For his birthday, I’ve decided to make 2 pair of slacks with a fake fly front and an elastic waistband. I’m making a (hopefully wearable) muslin out of a random piece of gray. If it works well, then I’ll make a second pair out of a pale-blue/gray pinstripe.
2. A dress for the girl. She doesn’t often get excited about fabric at the store, so when she does I grab it. This piece is crazy!
There is so much going on in this one piece of fabric. Neither one of us liked the border of the fabric, so I kept that in mind when looking for a pattern. I choose Simpilicity 1815. It’s a cute little sundress and I’ve cut it so that the pleated top will be mostly pink, changing to white at the waist and then the hem will feature large pink/orange/black print.
That’s what’s on my cutting table. What projects are you working on?
