More, More, MORE sewing! I’ve made two more gifts (remember my “I’ll make two gifts, and then I get to make something for me or the house” rule?) which means I get to make something else for me this week! Woot!<\/p>\n

First up, I have one of the gifts I finished this week. I actually have photos of the other gift, but since HER<\/a> birthday isn’t until tomorrow (Hey! Will you pop over<\/a> and wish her a happy day for me if you get a chance?) and I know for a fact she reads this blog, I’ll have to postpone the unveiling of her gift until next week.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, the first gift is for my niece, Lexer (Alexis) whose birthday is next month. But being sneaky and semi-smart, I decided if I could get her gift squared away, I could actually deliver it in person when I see her…this weekend! (Yeah!!!)<\/p>\n

So these are the wide-leg lounge pants from my Amy Butler book. I love them…they look so breezy and comfy, I can’t wait to make a pair for myself.<\/p>\n

I like the contrasting cuffs. And then I used some of the leftover material and made a little t-shirt for her, too.<\/p>\n

It makes a cute little set.<\/p>\n

I also finished up two dresses that have been languishing around in my sewing basket, kinda all summer. This one for Addie…<\/p>\n

It is super long, but when I had her try it on to measure for the shoulders and ribbons, she pleaded with me “Please can it be a long dress, Mama? Like a princess?” So, although it should be hemmed up a bit, maybe it will work for next summer, too.<\/p>\n

And here is the one for Emma…<\/p>\n

She also had very strong opinions about the construction of the dress. “I want the straps to criss-cross in the back, Mama.”<\/p>\n

Little diva fashionistas!<\/p>\n
