Got 20 minutes? Then you NEED to make yourself (or the lil missy in your life) a fabulous summer sundress out of pre shirred fabric. The good news is you don’t need a pattern to make this great little sundress.
I mentioned last week that I came home from Joann’s with all sorts of craft goodies.
One of those “goodies” was this gorgeous pre shirred rayon fabric. While we were shopping, my little missy took one look at this pretty floral fabric and insisted I make her a long flowy summer sundress with the fabric.
I was more than happy to comply as this type of no pattern sundress is a “breeze” to make and luckily, I had a 50% off coupon I could use on a cut of non-sale fabric.

Quick and Easy No Churn Peach Sherbet
We visited a DIY peach picking farm a while back and brought home quite a few perfectly ripe peaches. Mmm, nothing like the taste of a sweet and juicy peach right off the tree!
Since we only picked the ripest fruit, after a few days and eating what we could, I peeled and chopped the rest for the freezer.

It’s that time again… Time for a Fabric Giveaway!
Yes, I am cleaning out my fabric stash! Instead of selling or letting my my unused fabric sit around, I sometimes like to host a giveaway.
We moved recently and I want to fit all my fabric into 3 bookcases so it will look organized and pretty. (I’ve got a little ways to go, lol.)
First up is this collection of burgundy, pink and tan quilting cottons. I intended this for a quilt and never made one with the fabric. Maybe someone else will!

New pattern for you today! Free Girl’s Flounced Ruffle Capri Legging pattern. (Looking for the Basic Full Legging, capri and shortie pattern? I moved it here.)
It’s only taken about a year since I promised it, but I’ve finally gotten around to updating my flounced capri pattern that I posted almost 2 years ago. (The original legging pattern was only in 2 sizes and had inner and outer side seams.)
This new version of the pattern comes in girl’s sizes 3 to 8, has only the inner side seam, cut marks for shorts and full length leggings plus the flounce for the capri length.
