I do not do much sewing for the Grandkids anymore as they are growing up ....way to fast.
We do have a soon to be 3yr old so I did whip up this number this week. While pinning the pattern my pins struggled to push through the knit fabric, I remembered a trick my Mom used to do when changing one of the thousand’s of diapers on my 4 little brothers. Mom would run the diaper pin through her hair (yes she showered regularly 😉) it would lubricant the pin just enough and make it glide into the diaper with ease. I have used this method in my sewing room and it works like a charm!
Thanks Mom ....

 Raided the stash and found some knit and sweatshirt fabrics to make this little outfit. She will be nice and warm this fall and winter.

Soup Cozies

Almost done with the cozies. Making them for the service ladies in our small town for Christmas. I started this tradition years ago for our Post Office and Bank ladies who work so hard for us.
Raided the stash this am to make some larger bowls from 12 " cuts of fabric and Wrap and Zap batting. A free pattern for 10" squares can be found here....

DH and I found these 2 serving soup packets at Albertsons very reasonably priced, so still on budget 😛
