What I'm Sewing with This Week

This is a new 'series' I'm starting up and hopefully could keep up.  I get inquiries once in a while about some of the fabrics I use for my fabrics, so I thought it'll be cool to feature some of the fabrics I use :).   Like I said, hopefully I could keep up with this postings.  You all know I love fabrics ;)

So this week my plan is to sew a few pillows for my boys.  Their current [old] store brought pillows are getting a little rundown and quite frankly I have never liked them.  So this is the perfect opportunity to make them some pillows to match their new room decals they got for Christmas:

I'm planning to use these prints - maybe 1 or 2 pillowcases each?

I found a few great tutorials online and had sewn pillowcases a few years back so I am ready to get sewing :).  I'm hoping to surprise the boys with their new bed additions.  Progress and pics to come soon!

Happy sewing this week everyone! 

New Projects and THAT Guy

I'm working on a few new projects - here's a quick preview:

Cut, sewn, pressed, sewn, pressed and repeat...

Getting the binding ready as well:


I'm also making some pillows using a couple of Celebrate Seuss fabrics. These are for my older son. He loves Seuss.


And in the middle of all this work? A find this little guy:


:) Darling isn't he? P That's my younger son having fun inside one of the new containers I got for projects.  He's going to turn 2 next month and he is HILARIOUS!

Cheers and happy sewing.
