Summer Seersucker Sun Suit!

This cute summer suit is for my little buddy Andrew, age 7 mos. I made the 9 mos size. The fabric is orange striped seersucker embroidered with owls. It was on sale awhile ago at fabric.com.

I worked carefully to be sure the owls were symmetrical, but I didn't account for the buttonholes falling right on 2 owls! It worked out, though.

The back has elastic at the waist and straps to go over the shoulders. It has elasticized legs and a snap bottom for diapers.

The whole thing only took about an hour to make, so it is a quick summer sew!

I haven't seen it on yet, but if I get pictures of the little cutie, I will share!

Toile Kitchen Towels

I love pretty kitchen towels! My Mom buys me the Williams-Sonoma white towels that are the best quality! They have a smooth surface for embroidery, too!

This one is a lemon toile design from Embroidery Library. I used a golden lemony color, but I wish I had made it a little darker. The design is so pretty. I think they have many fruits with these designs.

This design looks like my hen Shelly. This one was done with a light brown thread. I wondered what it would look like in variegated thread, so I did it again (on a cheaper kitchen towel in case it didn't work).

I think it looks better in the solid thread, but this one looks good, too! I will probably turn this one into one of those button-top towels that I made a few weeks ago.

Linny's Pinny by Louise!

This gorgeous set was made by Louise Jones for her little grand daughter, Gracie. I love it when people post or send me pictures of things they've made from my patterns. It is really fun to see!! Louise made a size 2. Don't you love the trim and the blue edge on the shorts. It looks great with the bows matching the pinny fabric, too!
If you've made a pinafore, sunsuit, or bonnet, I'd love to see it!! Email it to mommysapronstrings@gmail.com or post it on my facebook page !
