Yesterday I made some baby things for my daughter’s teacher. Love this cute organic fabric from Cloud 9 Fabrics, designed by Michele Brummer Everett. You can still find the fabric at Fabricworm and some other shops. I made two burp cloths and a blanket, all backed with Cloud 9’s new soft flannel that I picked up locally at Intown Quilters.
Louise from I’m Feelin’ Crafty invited me to participate in her Sew Ready to Play series, where bloggers are sharing sewing projects inspired by games. Predictable as I am, I made a skirt for my girls. And I used triangles! Very similar to the bunting skirt that I made for the Moda Bake Shop a few months back, this is a simple elastic waist skirt with a patchwork hem band. Inspired by a backgammon board, this easy skirt uses bits of my new fabric for Kokka on a charcoal chambray background.
