Revised Grainline Scout Tee

                                                    Revised Grainline Scout Tee
                

            When you plan a simple sew [that you have         
            sewed before], that turns into.....a  long
            lasting sew... DO you wonder why???

                            WELL----
            It's not the pattern, it's not the revised
            ideas, it's not your sweet friend [Cathe]
            that sent you this  "sweet,fast,simple sew"         


                            IT  IS ----

            Your's Truly.. hahahaha  You see, I cut out this
            shirt , in  a really cute red fabric.. When I 
            went to cut  my little v in it,  I was too  set 
            on the simple part, and I didn't measure well.   
            I cut the  v off center.. It looked really dumb.
            I used the last little bit of the fabric.. so
            no re-cutting the front.  I was ready to set this 
            sewing tee aside.. But my friend, Cathe, finished 
            her beautiful shirt up and after seeing how pretty,
            it was, I just had to finish mine. check her blog
             to see her beautiful tee.

                                         BTW-- Neither of us knew, that  we would both end up doing
                                          a floral blue  fabric.ha

                     
Don't you just love this rustic old
building? It is at Kenny's camp house.
A fun day /night , camping out with
our grandson, Kenny.


Wish you could see the cute cuffs on the sleeves.
 Nice loose fitting , comfortable shirt.. Feel
really bad, that I wanted to cuss it.ha

Poodle Skirt for Emily

Emily
Dress up week at school..  this was 1950's day

Emily called me and said, 'Maw , I need a poodle
skirt for dress up day.. It is 1950's Day!"
She was really excited about it. And chose the
black/white check with the pink poodle.

This outfit made Emily very happy, and  I used
3 1/2 yds fabric from my stash.
