The week of Thanks giving I did a huge amount of sewing, but I was too busy to blog about it.
For Emily Rose I made a pinafore and bonnet to match the green gingham dress that I made for her a while back. The pinafore is longer then I expected, so I need to take some tucks to shorten it so the green will show at the bottom.
There has been brown horse fabric waiting (for a couple years?) in my stash for when I could make her some horse pants and vest. I managed to make these without Emily Rose knowing it. She was really surprised and quite happy.
After making Forest the seal shirt I wrote about a couple weeks ago, I made him some matching tan pants. Then I saw there was still some fabric of each color left. I thought I might be able to make a pieced seal shirt for him. So I set so work: a seal back, tan arms, tan hat, the front was pieced from both fabrics with a seal pocket. There was a little more seal fabric left, so I cut out the seal faces and patched the knees on the pants, and backside where a pocket might have been, and on the ears of the hood.
This is how much fabric was left over. This was a really fun three for the price of two deals.
I also hemmed the sleeves of a knit sweater. You can see the tutorial I wrote about it here.

I had a similar prairie dress when I was very young, I loved that dress to death, literally. I think I wore it every single Sabbath to church.
You were busy!! My daughters all want prairie dresses, too. They are so cute! WTG for the two projects out of one purchase!
