You guys! Thanks for the quilt love. Really. I adore it myself, but I had no idea that it would strike a chord with many of you too. All those lovely comments make me want to just make more.
While I didn’t whip up another quilt right away, I did make this little top for Kate’s friend Claudia. This is one of my very favorite fabrics (I bought it years ago and I don’t know who makes it). It is the same pattern I used for this shirt of Kate’s last summer. It is really so simple – I swear it takes almost longer to cut it out than to actually sew it up. It also only takes about a half yard of fabric for about a size 6 which is great since I seem to have lots of small pieces in my stash. I have never made my girls pillowcase dresses, but if I understand them correctly, this is made the same way except there is no bias tape under the arms. I just pressed 1/4" and then folded it under and stitched it down. Anna Maria just made her girls some cute dresses out of pillowcases and while I could explain the process more to you, she’s already done it! Her directions are way cuter than mine would be anyhow.
I’ve got lots to talk about (or so it seems!) so posting should pick up a bit around here. Have a great day!
That is darling! I think I might need to make one of those for myself!
I love yr style!
I have a couple of pillowcase styled shirts almost done for some gifts too. Great minds…
I’ve made summer shirts for my daughter like this – she loves them. What cute fabric

Thanks so much for the link to the pillowcase dress–I’ve been meaning to make one for ages, and now I have no excuse not to!
Your little fish shirt is fantastic. Who can resist a little fish shirt?
I love this! (I would whip one up myself but I can’t figure this kind of stuff out without directions…hint, hint)The fabric is great!
Oh!! How nice it is to see what you have done with the fabric. I have the same one that I had bought in France about 3 years ago.
