A little weekend sewing.

We had a pretty slow weekend so I was able to get caught up on some custom orders and make Father’s Day gifts too! First up, I made some capes for my friends grandchildren. I love how they came out!!!! So stinkin’ cute. I hope she sends me pics of the kids wearing them!

For Father’s Day gifts, I made reusable coffee sleeves for my husband and father-in-law. I have to say, it’s really hard to find man-friendly fabric. For one I used scrap material left over from a bow-tie I made for one of the boys in our college group and for the other I cut up one of my husband’s old Quicksilver shirts that had gotten stained.  I think they look manly enough. Notice I said “reusable coffee sleeve” rather than “coffee cozy”…I think that man’s them up a bit too. Happy Father’s Day!
