Project Run and Play: Flicker Friends Guest Post: Harmony from Sew in Harmony. Hi, everyone! My name is Harmony and I have been blogging over at Sew in Harmony since last fall. I am a wife and a mommy (to two precious but BUSY girls) and I also work at our church part time coordinating our children’s ministry. Sometimes I sleep, but I rarely clean anything…that’s how I get it all done! I am ecstatic to be guest posting here at Project Run & Play! I have been following along since Season 2, but this past season was my first season to SEW along.

It was really fun and challenging. Materials Fabric (about 3/4 yard) Matching thread Coordinating Piping (optional) Math (All the math in sewing! Make Ruffles Round off the ends of each ruffle piece. Make Straps Fold strap pieces in half lengthwise and press. Make Bands Sew back pieces to front pieces along short edges for both outside and facing. Attach Straps Safety pin straps to facing wrong side to right side in the location you want them…I angled them in just a bit in the back. Finito! Tutorial. It's a beautiful spring day today in Utah. Unlike a few days ago when I was sewing these little shorts together and it looked like this outside my sewing room window... So please forgive my terribly dark pictures in my tutorial. Basically I used the same method as I used with my Pajama pants tutoral . For the Peter Pan collar on the little t-shirt I used THIS tutorial. My origional project was to just add the collar to the t-shirt and be done.

But once I got started I wanted to complete the outfit with a pair of spring/summer shorts. Instead of using a pair of pajama pants for my template I used a pair of shorts that fit my daughter well and cut a couple pockets from the left over collar fabric. Sew your shorts together using the same method as THESE super simple pajama pants. To make the pocket I just cut two pieces in the shape I wanted my pockets to be and sewed the two together, right side together. I left a little hole to turn my pocket right side out.

Jelly Roll Baby Quilt Tutorial. I had a few friends around yesterday for a bit of a quilting/sewing day. I started on another baby quilt. This time using the jelly roll that I got from Green Fairy Quilts. The idea was to use 16 different strips and path them together into colourful blocks. But if you look closely, you can see that there are 4 squares that are not from the Punctuation range, they are from an older Moda range called Breath of Avignon. So in a bid to document a bit more what I am doing, here was my process: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. What do you think?

It has made all the difference – believe it or not using this ruler I was able to make 240 geese in ONE day! When Fat Quarter Shop sent me a Jelly Roll of Ruby by Bonnie & Camille – I just sat and stared at it for a day or so, I truly didn’t know what I was going to do with it.

Then I realized it would make the cutest quilt for my bestie’s baby girl who turns 1 next month. Doesn't it just scream little girl?

Inspirations #02. Profitons des beaux jours ! Pour un joli blondinet qui n'était qu'une adorable crevette capable de tenir dans mon coussin fleur lors des prises de vues dédiées au livre et pour sa maman qui, ce jour-là, affairée à nous faire respecter un timing plutôt serré, avait littéralement fondu pour le modèle original du tapis baluchon... J'ai réitéré l'opération en y apportant quelques modifications de saison et en coordonnant son graphisme à celui de son petit plaid. Un tapis illustré de mes petites bouilles fétiches, molletonné et doublé d'une 1ère face en coton et d'une 2d face amovible en toile enduite, pour lui permettre de l'utiliser indifféremment à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur.
