Inch by Inch

 My daughter found this inch worm on her shirt up the canyon tonight! So cool!

Minnie Mouse Sun Dress

I fell in love with this sun dress pattern and just had to make it for my little girl who just turned two.  About ten years ago I made a dress for my niece with this same Mickey Mouse fabric.  My sister gave me the leftover fabric about a year ago and I was saving it to make something really adorable with it.  I'm happy with the results!  

I added the bow on front instead of the buttons and made matching hair bows for her pigtails.  I might hem it a little more.  It turned out a little longer than I wanted.  I would also gather the sleeves a little more.  I will definitely be making more from this pattern! 

New Baby Bath Apron Towels

I have made and given baby bath apron towels to expecting mothers at their baby showers and every time I hear from a lady at the shower "I wish I had one of these when my child was a baby!"  Bath apron towels are super handy when getting your slippery baby out of the tub and keeps you dry!  I've had friends who use their apron towel to keep them dry while they bathe their dog.

Patriotic Denim Rag Quilt

To celebrate the first day of summer I just finished my patriotic rag lap quilt... and just in time for the 90 degree weather we're having in Utah!   I made this with the 4th of July in mind, picturing it beneath my sweaty bottom as I watch the fireworks.  Or to catch the melted ice cream my boys will drip all over!

I used various red, white, and blue cotton fabric and denim;  some recycled from my husband's old jeans, and some new.  I used 7" squares and sewed a red X through each "sandwich" of denim, white flannel, and 100% cotton top.  I found these sandwiches to be rather thick and heavy.  Next time I will omit the flannel if it's a denim rag quilt.  I used a 1/2" seam allowance to give enough room for the fraying.  LOVE it when it comes out all frayed from the dryer!  My dryer lint tray was mighty full of fluff.  I cleared it every 10 minutes. 

I find it much easier to cut the denim when it comes off the bolt from the fabric store rather than try to get random pieces from different pants.  But I do like the color variation and rugged look of various used denim jeans.  The front is made from denim off the fabric bolt and the back is mostly recycled jeans.

True to the red, white, and blue pattern on the front but completely random-placed denim on back.  (I didn't even look at the back as I pieced the front.)  I like to add a block with a pocket to give it character.  Plus it makes a nice place to store candy wrappers or a boogey kleenex.  :)

Happy Independence Day!
