Cozy fleece ponchos and pants will keep these precious babies warm this winter. Edie and my great neice Aurora, who lives in the UK. #sewsyracuse #sewingforbaby #edithjameswalsh #jillieleigh

This is what a sewer's vacuum cleaner has to deal with...thread! A seam ripper took care of this unusually big mess. I use a lint roller ever day to pick up threads and yet you can see they sneak in. There are new machines that claim to eliminate this problem.

Which is correct JOANN Fabric and Craft Stores Dec 2 or Dec 9?

Happy Halloween! Edie has her cape on and is ready to treat her NJ grandparents (they are so lucky!)

The struggle is real!! I love the little girl with the pigtails at the end! Too funny!

Edie's Daddy wanted her to be a carrot so I helped Mommy make a simple costume for her first Halloween. Edie seems very happy!

Edie got her first taste of Joann Fabric with Gramma today. I had to get her help picking out her Halloween costume supplies.

A gift to remember grandma by. Memory pillows using cashmere sweaters and pendants. I think the grandchildren will cherish them.

It's came to this today! I couldn't see the white thread in a white mesh. Oh boy!

Oh to see this in person.

This is as far as I could get.

Do you knit? I used to but haven't made anything but scarves in a long time. Just for fun I think I might have to give this a try. Please post pictures if you try it too!

Took a little time away from sewing to enjoy my first grandchild, Edie. She is 8 weeks old already. Wonder what I should make for her. A holiday outfit?

This penny rug was sent to Charlie as a thank you for his service. It was hand sewn with beautiful precision! I've posted some information below on penny rugs.

I kept busy during the lockdown making things for Edie before she was born. She looks happy in the crossbody sling! #stayclosetomommy #sewingforbabies #sewsyracuse #jillieleigh

Need masks? CNY COSTUMES has them reasonably priced, well made in sizes (kid's will need for school!) and locally made! I personally find this style the most comfortable!
