Penguins and Stripes




I totally love how this combo came out. The stripes I think really make it work and not look like jammies.

I think the tunics are becoming addictive :)

Quiara by Studio Tantrum



What a fun and fast pattern. The basic collar had an Asian feel to me, sort of mandarin like, so I thought the pink dahlia fabric would be perfect. I did the kooky hair things for fun ;)

I like how different the look is with the double sleeves and hood below. I used some super cute Icky Baby Nuts knit with some red velour. She says the red leggings are super warm and comfy. She was having a crazy hair flinging swinging day!

For the leggings I used Ottobre Issue 6-2007. Again a classic pattern.



You really should try a tunic pattern. They are more versatile than I thought they would be.

Fun, Easy Sewing!



I had a lot of fun making these wallets and wristlets from the a pattern I got from youcanmakethis.com
The directions are great. They go together easily.
I'm going to make some of these as gifts for Christmas, and stick gift cards inside.

There's enough stress this time of year. There were years where I chose too many, complicated projects that weren't easy...... and then they weren't fun!

I need sewing to be fun!
