Nightie for Thea

The nights are starting to cool down and I wanted to make a couple of nighties for Thea. Once winter comes she will go into a onesie, but for Autumn I like the idea of a nightie as I know her arms are nice and warm as she tends to not burrow.

I looked on etsy and found this pattern - the Sadie Grace Nightgown.

I wanted to make this out of a light flannette, I found a cute one at Spotlight covered with baby forest animals, and Amber also had a cool purple one in her stash that I used.

This was a super fast pattern. In about two hours I made two, this includes cutting out.  I was feeling lazy and didn't even leave the machine - no ironing and no overlocking.  I couldn't be bothered changing my overlocker thread to white (who else hates doing this!) so I just used a zig zag stitch on the seams.

Super quick, super easy and super cute.  Has my thumbs up!

Till next time, Melissa

Mystery Quilt - part two

So excited to get my next part of the Quilters Lane mystery quilt pack in the mail this week.  I am really enjoying being part of this, it requires low effort (arrives in the mailbox), I am doing something other than squares, and is only about an hour of my time once a month. 

This month's pack included some interesting shapes

I made a couple of mistakes first off so it pays to take your time and read the instructions and follow the pictures!  The other thing that really helps me is ironing after ever seam.

Happy with my patches

The last bit was making these four patch squares

So interested to see what comes next!

Till next time, Melissa
