My final day of the challenge was actually very productive. What a fun week this was! As a mama to 7 children, I am not used to getting this much sewing done. While it was very disappointing to have a special event we were looking forward to cancelled yesterday, it was consoling to have some great sewing projects to turn to.
Yesterday, I completed two pairs of Fancy Little Leggings, shortened up a bit to a summery length, in sizes 6 and 8 as well as co-ordinating Emmy Shirts. They are very cute! In fact, they are so cute that I took the girls’ picture before the sky brightened up and before they brushed their hair! 🙂
Thank you to all of you who have honoured me by visiting my blog this week. It has been a pleasure to sew and to blog.
Those outfits are so cute! Would you mind telling me where you purchased the owl fabric? I have such a hard time finding cute, quality knits!
Thank you!
Karen,
I bought it from another mama in the US, but she got it at JoAnn’s fabric store. I don’t know if you are in Canada or the US, but in Canada, I find it almost impossible to find cute, quality knits as you say. They really need to be purchased online. I’ll do a post in the next couple of days about sources.

Christine, thank you so much for the reply!! I’m in the US, in the midwest–Missouri, to be exact. I think it’s probably better on the coasts, but it is darn near impossible to find quality knits anywhere close by! I keep a pretty close eye on what JoAnn’s gets in, and I never saw this one! Either I completely missed it and they sold out really quickly or the ones in this area never carried it. I’m betting its the latter. Anyway, I’ve found some sources online, but it is hard to tell sometimes if it’s going to be thin knit with a poor-quality print. A post on some reliable sources would be great! Thanks again!
Karen
