Little Things to Sew, Baby Carrier

My friend Jeanne, recomended that I try and make this baby carrier from the Oliver and S book "Little things to Sew". She was right , it was a fun easy and very satisfying project. Ady loves carrying her baby in it and she runs around while wearing it, forgetting about the precious cargo she is carrying.

I used a big polka dot fabric called " Daisies and Dots" by Robert Kaufman

The straps fabric are made from  a Jo-Anne's cotton quilt fabric.

Classic picnic blouse and shorts

I have had these photos for a while, but summer has been so busy, warm and full of great trips that I am only posting these now.

The fabric combo worked really well, and the pattern is SO cleverly thought out. I love the flat front of these short most of all.

The combination of fabrics worked so well . I love the gray / pink combo

Here is the shorts and blouse. I have already cut out another pair.

Classic Picnic Blouse

Pink and white polka dots are just so much fun!
I recently finished this Oliver and S Picnic Blouse for my daughter. It was my first time sewing with these patterns and they are great. Clear instructions and this blouse was great to make.

I used voile for the blouse that I found at JoAnne's last season and the buttons are from a friend's stash that was passed onto me.

I am going to make another one in cotton. The Voile is great for this weather, but feels very delicate to me for a busy girl running around.

I found these great fabrics and now want to make the shorts for her.
