September Goals and New Fabric!

I cannot believe that it is already September!

August was a very quiet sewing month--I only made one top for my little niece.

The rest of the time, I was too busy camping, canning, and life in general.

Now, September is rolling around and I'm not sure what I'll get done since school starts again and I'm homeschooling. But, I did start two button-up shirts for my oldest two boys for which they picked the fabric:

 

I need to finish those.
Both pieces of fabric were picked up on our camping trip when we stumbled upon a quilting shop in Stettler.

A friend of mine made a Fabric.com order recently and I joined in to save on shipping. Actually, I think I splurged a bit and just might have contributed to most of the order....sigh...

But, I have plans for most of the fabric--really I do!

 I *need* to make my two oldest boys each some pants.

I don't know how they wear through their pants so quickly!
But, the camo twill is for that.
I can probably make 2 pairs each...

My daughter needs a new Sunday outfit for the Fall/Winter, so the Premier Prints twill (aaah...it is hiding in the picture) is for a skirt while the Michael Miller print from the Madrona Road is for a top.
So, either the Maggie Mae tunic or the new Hanami top...anyone?

The two Essex Yarn-Dyed Linen pieces (here and the denim-blue doesn't seem to be available anymore) are intended for fancy button-ups for my boys. Although pants out of those would be good too. We'll see if I have enough for both.

The butterfly print (Aprils Garden--doesn't seem to be any left), the other Michael Miller print and the sparkly knit (was on for $2.99 when I bought it!) are for unknown projects.
Although the butterfly print would make a super cute dress for my daughter! Maybe the Tinny?

So, for September, I hope to finish the kid-picked button shirts, and the camo pants.
Those are my two goals for September!

And, I will leave you with this fun picture--this is what we did most of our camping trip:

 



A Winner!

First of all, 'Hello' to all my new followers! I hope you'll enjoy my posts in the future--I am rather sporadic with posting but I have fun posting when I do.

 

Second, I apologize to those I did not reply to their comments. I tried, but sending off 179 emails takes A LOT of time! Instead, I'll thank you here for commenting and entering my giveaway--I had a lot of fun reading all your comments with so many great ideas!

 

Last but certainly not least, the winner of the Sew Mama Sew giveaway is # 80: Wobbly Bobbin who said:

'I love the bright colors! I think I a doll blanket would be perfect!'

 

Congratulations!!! I will email you shortly to get your mailing address!

If you do not reply within 48 hours, I will have to pick a new winner.

 

 

A Fabric Giveaway!!! *Closed*

I'm quite excited--my first fabric giveaway!!!


 

Sew Mama Sew is hosting the Giveaway Day again and this'll be my second time joining in--last May I had a vintage pattern to giveaway but now, I have fabric!

 

I love entering giveaways, especially if it is a fabric giveaway.

Who doesn't 'need' more fabric? And, what better way to get it than free?

So, I thought it'd be fun to host my own fabric giveaway--Sunny Daze by Timeless Treasures.

It's a scrap bundle but they are still quite large pieces.

I think the smallest is approximately 12" x 20" so there's a lot of fabric to still play with!

 



 

So, the small print: This is for US and Canada readers only, I'm sorry!

Leave one comment letting me know what you would do with this scrap bundle!

I'd love if you would follow my blog, but it is not mandatory.

I will close this giveaway on the 7th of December, around 5PM MST.

Have fun!!!

*Update: Please make sure you are not a no-reply commenter and if you are, please include an email address. (Unless I know you personally :) ) Thanks! *

Rhapsodia

This came in the mail yesterday!

Eight lovely fat quarters of Rhapsodia fabric.

They were sent to me by A Joyful Soul Fabrics after I won a giveaway on the blog, Quilting, Losing, and Tea. 

They're quite pretty--now just to figure out what I am going to make out of these!!!
