Summer sewing

 

Lily did a horseback riding camp so I made some leggings for her.  Made another pair with pastel rainbow dots too but never took a pic.  This fabric didn’t hold up well but the other did.

New shorts in a smaller size for Brandon. Added the zipper on these but I don’t like how it turned out.  

Tried some socks this summer.  Here I was trying to use lace, but I didn’t have enough of the other lace I wanted to use and this one was super thin.  Still got the socks made.  I also experimented with faux flatlock or regular seems to see which looked and felt better in socks.

New smaller size workout shirt for Brandon

Aaron needed a Fanny pack or something to hold his phone during marching band.  I saw this pattern at bag of the month club and ended up joining.  I’m excited to see the next 2 months patterns coming up. I loved the way the gusset attached with nice clean corners.  Aaron likes the bag so much he has requested a larger one. 

Made lily a lunch kit this year.  It has leopard print on the inside.

More socks.  These ones short ones for lily.

Made a pair of jeans shorts.  They took forever and are way too long waisted for my liking, and too big.  Obviously they stretch more than anticipated but I used the recommended stretch denim.

Socks for me

New wallet for me.  I ended up only using the interior.  I had troubles with this because it was super sticky.  I had cut it out on my cricut, and the mat left a residue.  I should have cleaned it up before sewing.  I still use it because it it tiny and matches my purse.
