Sewing Simple Jams

Bringing in Spring with Some Jams


Okay, spring is here finally.
It is a little Chilly.  Officially it is here with these Jams.
Fabric is from  G Street Fabrics   The cotton Novelty Wall-Great for theme Items


Simple Pattern for Shirt and Shorts... Here we made the shorts.


These are the simple Long Jams Front...Side Seam Pockets

Back Has 2 Back Pockets with Flaps and Velcro Tabs under Flaps

Back Pocket is camouflaged with this print

Pattern calls for one pocket... I did two for good measure...

I didn't try to match flaps or pockets, but they still camouflaged well.

This was an easy shorts pattern, so next we will do a shirt with it and see if that is one I feel is easy too.

Old McDonald Had a Farm EIEIO

This is the Book.  Minkie of Different Colors  and Pages are Separate so You can undo the knotted Ribbon Binding and wash the pages in the machine.



THE END....

AND....

Here is the book in use

Okay, so she likes to read it upside down, it's her book, at least she likes it! Besides she is only turned 1.   It came in this bag...

Why waste wrapping paper if you can make a bag they can use!

Finished Old McDonald Had a Farm Today!....

The Birthday Book... Finished, but the Music Box attachment is in progress...

It will be finished tonight with barns and tractors and animals on Minkie with the farmer... and
two music boxes... One plays Old McDonald Had a Farm and One plays The Farmer in the Dell

Have to add a grommet and some more stuffing.

One side you push the Tractor and the other side you push the tractor or the barn.

Sometimes a work in progress takes time, for the extras.
