Sew fun!

I've been doing a lot of sewing this summer and I'm having the greatest time creating things for Tobin and Heidi. Heidi has seen the most of it lately because I've learned how to sew clothes for her. I'm in love with sewing little dresses for her little body! I don't mean to toot my own horn by posting these pictures...I just want to humbly remember my sewing progress and share this fun hobby I've been enjoying. Also, I love sewing for friends (because it gives me more practice) so if you see something you like, I'd love to sew something for you! Here's some of my favorites from the summer...

Some bags I've made for friends. This was my first experience with using patterns:
I wanted to make Tobin a "doll" and when I asked what he wanted, he said a monster would be "awesome." Then he said he'd draw me a picture of what he wanted it to look like. He, very specifically mind you, said it had to have three horns, three eyes, three teeth, long arms and legs, and a big body. Here's his drawing and what I came up with to please my opinionated boy:
I made Heidi a doll, too. Her name is Janie:
Here's some of the dresses for Heidi:Look at that joy...isn't it contagious?
