Easter Sewing

The last few days I have been managing to sneak away into my creating space and work on some Easter outfits for the grandchildren.  I love making clothing for wee ones.  It's hard to imagine that Easter will be here in a few short weeks.  I tried to get some outdoor pictures, but the winds would not allow for it.  Mind you....the winds are warm winds this week with our crazy temperatures back into the 80s.  (Love it too.)  These are my creations.






I won't show a picture of my sewing area after these projects because it would terrify all of you.  Are you the type who keeps it all neat and tidy or do you make a disaster and THEN clean it to begin the next project? 

I can also show you a picture of the Easter Mug Rug since my swap partner has already received it.  This has been such a great group of talented quilters to swap amongst.  I do hope that we can continue with another project when the year is finished.



Okay....off to clean the disaster and frost a birthday cake as we have a grandson turning nine today.


Enjoy the daylight savings time (if you are lucky enough) with the longer evenings.  I love them myself.

    What adorable easter clothes! They are going to look so cute. Show photos of them in them! I cut out a dress for Audrey and then re-assessed my deadlines and moved onto something else.

    Those are the sweetest outfits! Now how long are those whites going to stay white - on little boys!! Too cute. I think the peeps fabric is so precious and what a lovely mug rug. And I keep working amongst the disaster until the end of the month - then clean to start the next month of chaos.

    Those little outfits are so cute! Nicely made too! My sewing space looks like a war zone while I'm working, but I have to tidy up the chaos before I can start the next project.

    Aw, Mary, those outfits are just darling. Lucky grandchildren. And yes, my sewing room is a DISASTER. I have stuff all over the place when I'm being creative. Well, it's a disaster even when I'm not being creative. We've been having beautiful weather also and I'm so ready for spring. Nice mug rug you got there.

    P.S. My sewing space nearly always seems to be in a state of disaster, although I claim to love orderliness.

    Beautiful wee clothes! I am the work on in a disaster area kind of person. The floor looks abominable once I have finished, and then it takes a few days to restore order. Right now, Diana is sleeping on the deck above my sewing room, and all her worldly belongings are in the actual sewing room. You have NO idea. Creating is a hit and miss affair because I can't even see my machines, never mind all the bits I need to be creative. But then, I have a daughter home. That makes up for the chaos. Sort of.

    How wonderful that you can sew for your grands! What adorable Easter outfits. I had an aunt that made our Easter outfits because my mama didn't sew and alas, neither do I!

    Love that Easter mug rug!

    Have a great rest of your week!!

    Those are about the cutest Easter outfits I have ever seen. I need to take up sewing - or maybe my mom can so she can sew her grandkids stuff? :)

    I love the Easter Outfits! I remember growing up that we always got a new dress for Easter....my Mom sewed us some beautiful dresses through the years. And about those sewing spaces....I am trying to clean mine up after the 4-Seasons Tablecover project was finished....since I had the "Dreaded Presentation" to finish up I just left everything as it was and was greeted with the mess this morning! LOL.....Congratulations on your win at With Love and Ladybug Hugs!

    Cleaning? What is that!?! My sewing room is in a constant state of disaster. I tidy up after a project, but I have so many that overlap, that the tidying isn't much help. Once a year I do a major overhaul - and then can't find anything for a month!! Those Easter outfits for the grands are ADORABLE!
