DIY Tutorial: When the Heat is Overwhelming

I have been loving this summer.

There has been plenty of sun and rain.

My daughter and I have been busy swimming, playing with our cat and dogs and walking back into the woods chasing butterflies and rabbits.

But the what we enjoy the most are those indoor activities; solving puzzles, cooking, painting or any other kind of art. This weekend we did rosettes that we will use to decorate our clothing and house.

Now her tigers are being spoiled!

Will be back with another activity soon!

Made by a Fabricista: Classic Ponte Knit Pieces!

Happy Saturday All!
I am so over this heat here in South Florida! The humidity and the high temperature feels like 100+ degrees each day. I can't wait for Fall so that I can truly enjoy the cooler temperatures.
Whenever Fabric Mart has designer ponte knit fabric in stock and on sale, I grab as many yards as I am allowed to. I absolutely love sewing with ponte knit versus other knits as the stability and structure are perfect for my personal taste (See my previous Fabric Mart post using ponte knit here and here).
