Sewing Talent

Recently a friend sent me a photo of an insulated lunch bag she made using this pattern here:

 

And some wristlets she made using this pattern here:

 

 

I think she did a beautiful job on all of them. Love her fabric choices.

My friend used to live here way back when our girls were little. We were sewing fools -- making all of our girl's clothing, swapping patterns, finding the latest and greatest in fabrics, the hottest sales.  We had the best dressed kids in the preschool!  They had matching nightshirts and sundresses and a zillion bathing suits from when we were on our bathing suit making kick.  Somewhere there is a photo of the two girls taken on Christmas Eve wearing their matching polar fleece capes and singing Christmas caroles.  Maybe they were about 5 then.

But then my friend moved away and our girls grew up and life just keeps moving on.

The funny thing is though, whenever she sends me photos of projects she has made they are either made from fabric I already have in my stash or fabrics that I have lusted after. 

Even after all these years...

I love the stuff you have made...

It look so wonderful.

The links you posted for the patterns are not working can you email them to me?

Thanks

It's wonderful to have a sewing friend when your kids are little. Those are such fun, crazy, stressful, and fantastic times. Then the little stinkers grow up! My friend also moved away and then wouldn't you know it, she came back to town and I moved away! Go figure. Your friend did a beautiful job with your patterns too, BTW.
