My dear husband and I just returned home from a week at our cabin<\/a> in the beautiful mountains of the North Carolina “High Country.”\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 This time it was just the two of us.<\/p>\n

We wanted a break from the hustle bustle of our very busy-but very happy!- life here in central Florida.\u00c2\u00a0 And we reeeeally wanted a break from the sweltering heat here at home.\u00c2\u00a0 We surely got that! \u00c2\u00a0 To keep from freezing, I wore a sweater everyday and we slept under two hand stitched quilts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"cherries<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course, my plan was to get some uninterrupted sewing and smocking done.\u00c2\u00a0 So on the first morning after we arrived, Bob set up my sewing table and I set up my trusty Brother ULT 2003D.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After making the first summer top<\/a> from the\u00c2\u00a0 The Purl Bee<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 free pattern for our toddler granddaughter, I was eager to make one or two more with some modifications.<\/p>\n

The play top outfit above is the first project I finished while we were there.\u00c2\u00a0 The cherry fabric is left over from the Sweet Baby Jane<\/a> bubble I made for her last summer.\u00c2\u00a0 The vintage 36″ gingham was purchased at an estate sale a few summers ago.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a small piece but with careful cutting I squeaked it out.\u00c2\u00a0 The remaining scraps were so small that cherry fabric had to be used for one side of the ties.<\/p>\n

The result is kind of scrappy looking.\u00c2\u00a0 I wish I had not added the cherry ruffle to the bloomers.<\/p>\n

The cherry top is much like the yellow floral and blue gingham one<\/a> made earlier with with the sweet pockets free pattern.\u00c2\u00a0 This outfit, however, has a contrasting fabric for the elastic’s casing and the pockets have been enlarged.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The tops of the pockets have been reinforced with a red button.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vivian Rose’s mother commented that her little dynamo loads her pockets with rocks and toys and pretty much anything that will fit~or anything that Vivian Rose THINKS will fit and works at it until something gives. \u00c2\u00a0 Rebecca predicted that the dainty pockets on the blue and yellow outfit would be torn free in a short time.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m sure Lezette Thomason did not design them to be used as cargo holds.<\/p>\n

This should be a sturdy, cool little outfit for our baby girl.\u00c2\u00a0 Playtime is serious business for Vivian Rose so she needs this sort of clothing.\u00c2\u00a0 I hope that soon I will have photos of her modeling this.\u00c2\u00a0 It is so much cuter on a child.<\/p>\n

What children’s\u00c2\u00a0 summer clothes have you made?<\/p>\n

P.S.\u00c2\u00a0 If you would like to plan your own sewing getaway at our Mountainside Cabin, it now comes equipped with the above sewing\/embroidery machine, basic threads, rotary mat, ruler and cutter, as well as a few other sewing supplies.\u00c2\u00a0 Just drop me a note at NCcabin@aol.com<\/p>\n
