Here it is!  I made this yesterday in my sewing class.  Melissa Morgan taught this class at the Stitch Lab.  The class format if very relaxed and easy.  Because there are only a few people in each class, every skill level can work at their own pace.  I really enjoyed having Melissa as a teacher.  She is also teaching some other great classes including, baby overalls, ring slings, pocket slings, and some great sewing classes for kids. Check out the schedule here.

(E’s awesome matching sandals are from Target.  She calls them her “rainbow sandals.”)

Tomorrow, I go to the Girl’s Pillowcase Style Dress class at the Stitch Lab.  I would love to be able make dresses for C & E.  While I know they will probably protest dress wearing, sometimes I am able to coax them into one for special occasions.  I am hoping this cute apple and pear fabric from JoAnn’s will be appealing enough to entice them into putting them on.  I also want to make one for my cousin’s daughter D, who is seven months old.   When I saw this red, nursery rhyme toile, I thought of her.  I am sure that the sweet folks at Stitch Lab will be able to remind me how to use my sewing machine, because it has been a long time!
