I sew for myself and my family all the time, but the focus this month is sewing for others. I am making a final push to finish sewing a dress for my granddaughter and a pair of mini Hudson Pants for my oldest grandson to enter into the sewing challenge #selflesssewapril23 taking place this month over on Instagram. If I have time I will also enter a beach towel backpack using the flamingo beach towel that I picked up at TJ Maxx for that purpose. You can find the tutorial for sewing a beach towel back up here [ Ссылка ] . This a bag with straps that is sewn onto a beach towel. The beach towel folds and tucks into the bag which can be worn as a backpack or carried like a tote. Genius!
I found some time to sew a muslin of the Patina Blouse by The Friday Pattern Co. looking forward to sewing my final version. Two thumbs up on that pattern! You can find the pattern here [ Ссылка ]
