Quality Time in the Sewing Room!

I was able to finish three projects this weekend.  First, this blouse, which I started in November but it got shelved so I could work on Christmas stuff.  Not really sewing stuff for Christmas, shopping, wrapping, baking - all that stuff!

Then I made this t-shirt out of fabric that was leftover from a dress.  I bought this at Mood about 4 years ago, and love the look of it, but I'm not so enamored with the clingyness of it.  So I chose to add rouching to the sides.  It came out nice, but it's still going to be hanging in the closet for a while......


I also made this simple, cute cape (which sounds so much better than poncho, doesn't it?).  It's one piece of wool, sewn together. 

I added a simple decorative stitch around the edges with matching thread.  I always like the look of tone-of-tone stitch. 
Not bad for three days.  And not three full days, just whatever time I could grab.  Next up:  leggings and appliquéd onesies for the sweet little granddaughter.
