Rainbow hooded cape
I've been sewing but not blogging. Here's a snuggly warm little cape I made for Avalon. She's puzzled by the lack of sleeves, but seems to be enjoying wearing it. Pattern from the latest Ottobre, I think next time I make it I'll find a way to curve the shoulder darts a bit more.

lunch bag #2 for Kaia
With a side of clay covered table and Avalon eating yogurt. (Matt is making me a spoon rest in his ceramics class and has been working on it some here.) She also has a strawberry one.

bag
I have been sewing, just not blogging! I have made many pairs of pants, pjs, pillowcases, a t shirt and a dress this summer. Plus this bag. I needed something to throw things in and carry around when I'm out with the kids. If you click through to my flickr you can get a closeup of the fabric.

Still haven't finished the mushrooms
They're sitting on my table waiting for me to rethread the coverstitcher. In the mean time, I've gotten a few projects in here and there but haven't been sewing that much.
T-shirt I dyed for a friend's son.
Robot pants for the little boy I watch 2 afternoons a week.
Pre-patch that Kaia picked out of the remnant bin at Harts.
I'm trying to sell/give away enough fabric that I don't feel totally overwhelmed by my stash. Hahaha. It's really hard for me to get rid of fabric, I can always imagine some use for it even if I never get around to it.

WIP sneak peek
This is my project this week. Can I tell you how much I love this fabric? It's a japanese knit I paid way too much money for it, but I could not resist.
I'll post a finished pic when I'm done. I need to thread up the CS machine and I haaaate doing that.

Hello Kitty hoodie for Kaia, size 6 so it'll fit her for a while. Skirt is a hand me down from Rosie, originally made by Jennifer of Textile Fetish. Kaia loves it.

Sweater blanket WIP
Felted recycled wool sweaters turned into a blanket. This is only half, the finished product will be roughly 64" x 80", big enough for a twin bed. This is for my cousin JT, who turned 18 this month. I've been planning this project for a year, collected the sweaters, cut them all up a month ago and am finally piecing it together. Hopefully it will be done before winter's over.

Holiday crafts
I haven't been able to get very much of my own crafting in this holiday season, but Kaia and I have been doing fun projects together. Michelle of Green Kitchen gave me an entire mixing bowl full of buttons and we've been putting them to good use. 
I got the idea for these snowflakes from someone on Sewing Mamas and we've been making a few and a time here and there. A little glitter glue makes them quite festive.
I also picked up a knitting kit at JoAnn on sale. It has several plastic frames for knitting and the smallest one makes a great i-cord. Kaia picked up the knitting part in about 20 minutes and it took one more session of figuring out the winding before she was able to do it completely on her own. We're knitting a tree garland inspired by Soulemama, though ours is washable wool with tinsel. We keep the little bin in the living room and we each do some knitting (knitting on a spool like this is called corking) when we feel like it and our tail is growing longer and longer.
I was really impressed at how quickly Kaia caught on and could do the entire thing herself, although occasionally she gets tangled up and needs a little help. She also doesn't quite get the idea of taking the yarn ball with her when she goes to another room, so occasionally we find it draped on the furniture and winding around the corner into the kitchen.
I hope we'll be done in time for Xmas, but we can always work on it into the New Year and put it on the tree next year.

Matchy matchy PJs
I made these for the kids for pajama day at Kaia's preschool. I love them, even though I cut out Kaia's pants upside down.

Turtle shirt
I made Michelle some pants with this fabric a while back, and I eked a tshirt out of the scraps when Kaia begged for it. She wore it to preschool today and didn't get paint on it, a first for her. Usually everything I make gets stained the very next day.

Short romper
Short romper for Carlo, made from a couple of morphed patterns. It's not my best work, but I adore the fabric.

Jammies for the baby
Avalon was in dire need of new jammies, so I got 2 pairs done. Another 2 pairs are in varying stages on the sewing table, along with a shirt that Kaia requested.

Mugging for the camera
Another basic Olivia dress, super soft baby rib knit, fold over elastic neckline. I loved this print when I first saw it, and it seemed just right for a little summer dress. Poor Avalon is PJ-less, so I think I'll make her some jammies from the leftovers.
