Prairie Girl

Today, during our Mommy and Me crafty time, Cupcake Katie continued to cut and paste little pieces of paper while I whipped up another little number for back to (pre)school. The fabric is Pure by Sweetwater for Moda and I used the free "recipe" from the Moda Bake Shop. I did modify the recipe just a little to make it fit Katie, since the finished size was listed as a girl's 6 and Katie is a 3T.

I love the bow in the back, but I think it would be cute either way.

It took a lot of sewing time, since I had to piece the squares together. But I am really happy with how cute it turned out to be. Kinda reminds me of "Little House on the Prairie."

This afternoon, while Caleb was napping I set Cupcake Katie up with her own little craft table so I could get a little sewing done.

Lately, my sewing has been very limited to weekends when hubby is home and can keep the kids from killing each other or destroying the house while I work. Cupcake has decided that naps are for babies, and has been resisting all attempts to lay down because she is a "big girl'! Soooo, what to do? Crafty time with Mommy, of course!
While she was busy cutting paper with her little scissors and glueing pom-poms with Elmer's glue sticks, I was finally able to put together a little dress that I have had cut out for a couple of weeks. After we were done with our crafts, we braved the 115 degree heat index to snap a few quick pics before coming inside and rehydrating.
The fabric, which I had to have the moment I saw it, is from the Love collection by Amy Butler. The pattern is the Knot Dress pattern by Whimsy Couture.

I had such a great time during Mommy and Katie craft time that we will probably be doing it again tomorrow. See y'all then :)
