What's For Dinner ...

About 3 weeks ago I posted an Apron and Chef Hat (HERE) I made for my Grandson ... Dalton. I promised I would post pics of him with it and here they are:

Is he not the most adorable thing you've seen?  He loves to help his Mommy cook.  From the looks of it he knows his way around the kitchen ... LOL

Sew Cute!!

OK ... I admit it!  Since my card making muse has decided to make herself scarce I have been on a sewing kick.  I have to be doing something ALL of the time.  I go through phases and for the past month or so it has been a sewing phase.  I thought it would pass rather quickly since I sew 8 hours a day at my job.  (I work at The Men's Wearhouse as a Tailor).  But it seems to be hanging on.  When I go to my craft room to paper craft I find myself going through patterns and fabrics.  And of course the Grandkids get wind of it and request me to make them something ... What kind of Grandma would I be if I didn't honor their wishes?!?  LOL  Anyway I have decided that in between cards I would start showing you some of my sewing projects.

The one I have for you today was a request from Dalton (another one).  He's my loving, adorable youngest Grandson.  He is turning 7 on Saturday (tomorrow).  He loves to help his Mommy cook and decided he needed an apron of his very own.  Home Spun Threads now has all of her patterns for free.  Yep .. FREE.  If you sew then you must go over there and see what she has.  I used her Little Chef Patterns and here is the result:

Please forgive my photography ... I took this picture on my washer about 2:00 AM so I could get it shipped in time for his birthday.  Besides I am a night owl and that's when I do all of my projects....

Anyway he should get it today and I asked his Mommy to please please get a pic of him in it.  Besides ..  if he really likes it I might have to make him different ones.  And if he cooks like I do he'll need plenty so he can have a clean one!!    I'll be sure and show it to you.   :)  

Thanks for letting me ramble about my sewing and my awesome Grandson.  Have a Great Day!!!!!

Dalton wants Hats too!

I have been in a sewing mode while my cardmaking muse is out on vacation.  Just thought I'd show you what I have been up to.

After I crocheted and knitted hats for my DGD Cierra (HERE), Dalton ... my 6 year old Grandson asked me to make him "fishin' hats".  I went to the garage and began searching for fabrics that I thought might work. The pattern is Simplicity #5581.   This is what I came up with.

This first one I made turned out to be too small so he can give it to his little cousin:

This one is his size and I decided to make it reversible.  It is dark green on the reverse side:

After I was sure of the size I made him 3 more:

The Camo and Denim reverse to the same fabrics and the black one reverses to a bright blue.  I am thinking he will be pleased.  At least I hope so.

I have been doing some other things too that I'll be showing you between my Design Team obligations.  I had seen a few tutorials on making your own panties from T-shirts by using a pair of favorites for a pattern and I now have a new batch of underwear.....woohoo!!!  But those I am not going to show you ... LOL!

My oldest Grandson .. Taylor .. is 16 so I bought him jeans.  I do have a quilt top that I made him and need to get quilted.  I'll get it out and take a pic and show you.  I am saving it until I make quilts for Cierra and Dalton.

I hope you didn't mind my sewing projects and thanks so much for visiting,
