Colonial Dancing Vest

 

A customer of mine from at least 20 years ago, asked me to copy his old vest that I had originally made for him.  It was fun seeing it again and seeing how my methods have evolved over time.  The new vest is pictured here with Alice.

 

I like the back lacing because it makes it adjustable.

My current machine makes nice eyelets so I used them instead of buttonholes.

Feline Friday 13th

 

Happy Friday 13th!  I'm not superstitious but here is a black cat for good measure!

She keeps coming inside, uninvited.  I would let her stay in, but our other two cats hiss at her.

She will just have to be content being a yard cat.

Feline Friday- Cat Charm

My daughter has been making charms out of oven bake clay.  That is a sewing eye for a hanger.  She likes cats too.  I wonder where she got that from!

Owl Plates from All Fired Up

My daughter and I had a girl's day out recently and we went to All Fired Up.  We both did owl plates.  It was a lot of fun and her plate (top) was a Facebook Favorite!

I haven't decided where to display them yet.  We could eat off them if we wanted.
