Make & Listen Along

Make and Listen Along

~ On Thursdays I will post what we have been making and listening to as creations grow. 

If so inclined post, on your blog or flickr, about what you have been making (on your own or with little hands by your side) and listening to while you create. It can be new music, flash backs, a song or a whole album... whatever you like. You can be stitching with needle & thread, yarn, paper crafting, painting, cooking... and beyond. Share what you are making and the tunes that are fueling your creativity. Then come back to my Thursday Make & Listen Along post and leave a link in the comments so we can be inspired right along with you! ~

My girl loves to catch frogs. She is a pretty snappy frog hunter too!

So my talented mom made her a frog inspired dress which quickly became a favorite and was worn often... barefoot in the backyard, with mud boots at the pond and every which way in between... except for with tights. No tights for this girl!

When she grew out of it she asked me to make the skirt portion of the dress into a skirt. I had done this before with other long dresses my mom had made. I said yes and it sat in the wip pile. 

Yesterday I was inspired to get some projects finished and the fabric closet was open, which is always an invitation for little people to explore. She found the dress, brought it over to the desk and gave me the look. 

I started deconstructing.

She is going to help me sew the casing for the skirt today. The next question was what to do with the super cute bodice? 

While kiddos were busy at play I decided on a raw edge bookmark for my frog lovin' girl...

It was fun to pick out little bits to add and it was just the type of messy sewing I needed.

She loved it!

As I cut and sewed along I was listening to these talented brothers & their band. So good!

What have you been making?
