We’re back!
\nSorry, I don’t mean to disappear like that.
\nTruly.
\nI wish I could blog every day, cause I have enough photos and projects stockpiled for it.<\/p>\n

\"Lemonade<\/a><\/p>\n

But I made a decision this summer that I was going to embrace the chaos, rather than fight it….or rather than feel guilty in my mind for neglecting my business, while constantly helping, feeding, and swimming with my kids.
\nIt’s a silly thing to feel guilty about.\u00a0 I know!\u00a0 It sounds even sillier as I type it.
\nOf course we should all go boogie boarding over sitting at a computer.
\nSo that’s what we did.
\nAnd now here we are.\u00a0 With some fun projects to share!<\/p>\n

A few months ago Rae<\/a> sent me some fabric from her Small World<\/i> line with Cloud 9 Fabrics<\/a>.
\nAnd I’ve been dying to squeeze<\/i> a project in.
\nEh?
\nEh?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nCause when Life gives you Lemons….<\/p>\n

\"Lemon<\/a><\/p>\n

YES!<\/p>\n

\"Stripey<\/a><\/p>\n

Rae’s Lemon Drop<\/a> print was just asking to become a pair of KID Shorts<\/a>.\u00a0 It’s so fun, and happy, and bright.\u00a0 And it’s corduroy!\u00a0 The cords are petite and so soft.\u00a0 I knew Lucy would love it.\u00a0 Especially since she’s entered a stage of loving shorts, over dresses + skirts.
\nHave your girls done that?
\nMaybe yours are in opposite order?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3 year-old Clara currently refuses to wear anything BUT a dress….while all of Lucy’s 9 year-old friends are only wearing shorts.\u00a0 So, shorts it is for our new Fourth Grader.
\nGood thing that KID Shorts Pattern<\/a> continues to grow with my kids!<\/p>\n

You can read more about the pattern here<\/a>.
\nAnd you’ll find all the variations and tutorials here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For this pair I made:\u00a0 flat front shorts<\/a> \u2022 with front pockets<\/a> \u2022 with piping<\/a>
\nI really wanted the fabric to be the star, with just bits of yellow to help it all pop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’ve never used piping before it’s super easy.\u00a0 You can even make your own!
\nWatch my snazzy video about it here<\/a>.
\nAnd just like that, you’ve made pink lemonade!
\nAhhh.
\n\"Lemon<\/a><\/p>\n

I seriously LOVE these shorts.
\nSewing never gets old that way.\u00a0 You look at a fabric and LOVE it.\u00a0 And then you turn the fabric into something and love it even more.\u00a0 Happens every time.
\nEven when it’s just simple stripes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI also made this stripey tank top…which is a variation, on this variation<\/a> of the Bateau Neck shirt<\/a> I made a couple years ago.
\nAnd it’s got me thinking more about tank tops.
\nSo I’ve started drafting my own version of a tank top, with a racer back option, possibly a dress? and other surprises.\u00a0 Cause it’s a good idea to start drafting a summer pattern, in the middle of summer.\u00a0 Doh!\u00a0 I’m always a season behind.\u00a0 Or maybe I’m just being realistic…since it’ll probably take me a year to finish the whole thing.\u00a0 That’s how things roll around here.<\/p>\n

But back to shorts.
\nThe thing I love about this Flat Front<\/a> version is that it’s so easy to make, without having to create a perfectly fitted waistband.\u00a0 The back part of the waist is gathered with elastic.\u00a0 And even on an older child it looks great, especially since their shirt often hangs over the waistband anyway.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOf course who’s looking at waistbands when you’ve got lemons on your pockets?
\n\"KID<\/a>
\nAnd Lemondheads to go inside?
\nMy favorite moment of the day was when 1950s candy became relevant again….
\n\"Tank<\/a>
\nOh Lucy.
\nWhen did you grow up??
\n\"Stripey<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks Rae<\/a> for the darling fabric!<\/p>\n
