America's Independence Day is almost here, so to get in the spirit of things, I decided to make some patriotic outfits for each of my kids.
Each of these sews is from an American designer too!

Wow! It has been a LOOOOONG time since something new has come from Mouse House Creations! I'm so glad she's jumped back in with two new patterns: the Lulah Market Skirt and Lulah Flutter Tank. They are SO cute together and both are very easy sews!
Time for some new-to-me patterns! For this tour, I sewed up some fantastic patterns from jennuine Design, and also a woven skirt from a Japanese sewing book.
Phew, it has been a whirlwind week here! (Or perhaps a whirlwind few months if I'm truly honest with myself.) I'm notorious for biting off a ton of things in the hope that some of those things get accomplished. My super-planner husband shakes his head always!
