There's been so much knitting stuff this summer (which seems like an odd phrase to write) that I've sorely neglected sharing some of the other projects I've been working on!
Which is a shame, because I've been working on some cool stuff these past few months.
Like, I made a backpack!
The pattern is Made by Rae's Toddler Backpack, to which I added the optional lining, and some self-drafted pockets on the outside with mesh fabric, elastic and bias tape. It looks super-impressive, but is surprisingly easy to make.
Also awesome?
Lobster shorts!!
There's been three different Renfrew tees that have been getting a lot of wear (including the white one above and this beauty):
I made baklava for the first time and garlic scape hummus. I've baked tiny cherry pies and at least three versions of a buttermilk tea cake trying to get my recipe perfect (almost there...)
I've done some embroidery:
I've whipped up quick little projects:
And sewn another dress LMC refuses to wear even though she picked out the fabric from my stash.
Let's just say, it's been a productive summer. :)
