Glo Sews Life

I realize it is not officially summer, but I have been taking it easy and enjoying my first week of summer break.  I know it has been a while since I last posted here, but sometimes I just have to be lazy and do nothing!  I know it isn't very productive, but it sure is enjoyable! I have not been so lazy that I have neglected my sewing!  I have made a large crib blanket and also a little dress and diaper cover for Harper. She will be joining us sometime this month, I can't wait to see that little bundle of joy! The dress I made was New Look number 6793.  Which is an adorable little dress that ties on the shoulders. I made a size small which fits up to 13 pounds.( shortly after I made it my  daughter-in-law found out by ultrasound that Harper already weighs 7lb. and 10 oz.  Oh my goodness!)  The pattern include some appliques, but I chose to machine embroider a butterfly on the front instead.  The appliques seemed a bit large to me. ...

I am getting so excited about the new grandbaby that is coming in June!  She is going to be such a wonderful addition to our family and a long awaited extension of  my son!  I can't wait to see her beautiful little face! I have ordered some patterns to start  sewing for her.   There are so many patterns to choose from, but I love Kwik Sew patterns and I found four that I just had to have!   The Butterick and Mccalls patterns web site   now carries Kwik Sew patterns and if you join the BMV club you get 15% off all patterns even if they are on sale! Kwik Sew #K3901 I found this darling baby girl outfit. It is perfect for a summer baby. I can't wait to get started on it!  It is sized from 0-3 months all the way up to 18 months and all sizes are encluded!  I think that is a great bargain!  I can just see little Harper wearing it now!  Well, guess I better pick out some fabric first, but I will have it ready and waiting on...
