it will all work out

I have always loved this quote by the Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley.  He had such a positive attitude which I clung to.  I also believe it will "all work out."  

I created this pattern while watching General Conference a few weeks ago and although those were not the exact words spoken since President Hinckley has passed on, that was the idea I gleaned from each of the talks that given.  

The pillow form is 16" X 16" I just made the cover up as I went.  I just made it until it fit!  I had it finished and realized it was still a bit too small, so I added a 1" piece of black and white dot fabric all the way around.  When I turned it inside out, it ended up looking like piping. I love that! 

Here's the pattern for the embroidery:

new summer jams in the spring

Every time the weather turns a bit warmer, I break out my patterns for pjs for the kids.

I think I get excited to shed the flannel and move on to something a little more light and airy.

Baby doll jammies and night gowns for Mallory are my favorite.

  In the past I have made her at least one pair of baby dolls each Spring.  This year I made her a pair of baby dolls and a night gown out of some lovely yellow and purple sear sucker that was sent to me as a gift from a blogger over seas, Zia Koko, four years ago.  I think I was saving it for the perfect project. 

I used a simple See & Sew B5119 pattern that is for a night gown and a set of baby doll jams.  I didn't put the ruffle on the nightgown nor the bow.  Mallory is girlie, but not that girlie.  As for the other jams, I added a 2 inch piece of fabric to the bottom of the top since it runs a bit short.  Overall, these were simple and quick..perfect for beginner who wants to get a project done in a day.
