A Frock By Friday
I'm in the process of finishing one for her younger daughter as well:
These quilts are pretty easy to make...lots of straight lines. They're just really time consuming!!! And apparently I can't cut well, b/c the hardest part for me is getting all the lines to line up when I sew the rows together. I'm getting a lot better...but hopefully I will continue to improve!
A cute variation on the t-shirt quilt is the baby clothes quilt. I've made two of these for a friend..one for her little girl, and this one for her little boy:
I can't wait to make one of these for each of my boys. I have two large boxes full of clothes, one for each of them. Every time Sam outgrows a size (which is fairly often..we're at 24 months for our 10 month old!), I go through the clothes and make three piles...Quilt for Henry, Quilt for Sam and Donate. I think I'm going to stick to the clothes they wore during their first year. So I could probably start on Henry's quilt pretty soon.
So much to sew, so little time!
P.S. I've got to start taking pictures with a real camera...not my phone!
I've also made a couple for friends. These are for Easter and 4th of July:
Since I master the art of the tie onesie, I've used Wonder Under for a variety of shirts for both my boys and myself. As a teacher, we get to wear jeans on Friday, as long as we're wearing a school shirt. All my school shirts were navy, blue and more navy, and I need a little COLOR!!! So I've created my own shirts to wear. This one combines my love of wonder under with my love of the rag quilt.
I've got more cute shirts I'll have to post once I get pics... More soon!
