I know it isn't April anymore but when I started this post last Friday it was! ;-)

I have had so much fun sewing the last few days. My projects have been a little bit of everything. First I finished up a purse for a dear friend's mother. She brought me the main fabric ( Alexander Henry's Green Yui Kokeshi Dolls) and I picked two coordinating fabrics with her two favorite colors from the Kokeshi Dolls farbic. I think the red and teal were a great choice.
Zipper Coin Pouch
Inside of Purse
I also made my very first pair of little boy shorts for my sweet little boy peep:
I love this fabric and he LOVES cars.
I followed this TUTORIAL at MADE.
So simple and so easy to follow, I'm one of those that gets totally confused with the whole inseam/ crotch area. Why? I have no idea but when I'm looking at the four pieces of cut out fabric my head starts spinning. Do I sew the front to the back or the back to the back or the back side to the front side, I know you are probably confused now, right?!?
~So THANK YOU Dana over at MADE for helping my head to stop spinning over how to sew pants~
Butt shot! lol
These ended up being a little shorter than I wanted so the next pair I made 2 inches longer.
Look for another What I'm Sewing This Week post soon!
I've been sewing all weekend!
