Sometimes I feel like I am moving at just a frenzied pace during my days. But I am hoping–crossing my fingers–that I will find a little time this weekend to sew Sissy a new fall outfit.

I am planning on making a simple scrap peasant skirt in fall colors. I had fun laying out several different options an combinations before I had a winner. Lucky for me, the creative process is often as fun as completing the final project!

Once I had a winning combination, I cut all the strips, so now I’m ready to go! Hmm… now all I need is a little block of time to sew it all together! I also sketched out a design for a coordinating shirt applique. I wanted something that would work all though fall–not just Halloween or Thanksgiving.

A cutie little scarecrow strikes the right balance, I think, don’t you?!

So, are you hoping to make time for some sewing or another fun hobby this weekend? Do tell! Wheeee!

See how it turned out…
