Carefree Clothes for Girls - Month 6 - Apron & Pants

I am finally back!  I still don't feel peachy, but seems like whatever sickness or allergies I have isn't sticking around long.  Especially with the tomato soup I made myself this morning.  I threw that one together dazed and blurry eyed, but it was so good that I am going to have to write it out to share.  I ate a huge bowlful and feel much better after eating.

I had a great trip down to southern California.  I'll share a few photos in another post.

Sorry if I disappointed anyone!  I never should have said I would post the new project for this month on last Thursday.  With all the activity involving my trip I had zero time for writing a post.  I was packing, cooking, cleaning, more packing, more last minute packing...  you get the idea right?

Onto this months project.  I was a little lost on what to choose this month.  Its not quite Fall, but not quite Summer anymore.  Kids everywhere are starting school so I finally decided that the Apron and Pants patterns shown on the front of Carefree would be the perfect back to school project.  The apron looks like it would be great for keeping her new school clothes clean while working on projects. 

All the same guidelines apply. 

Change the pattern somehow & express your creativity.  That's it!

The prize for this months winner is Craft Hope: Handmade Crafts for a Cause.  

As soon as I saw this book I knew I wanted to give one away.  A portion of every book sale goes toward Global Impact.  If you can't wait and want to order this book before the end of this month's giveaway please do!  If you win and you already have this great book, you can have your choice of another book of approximately the same value as a thank you for helping out with their cause.

Have fun!

Hi Melissa,
I'm so glad I found this Sew Along as it is my new favorite book. Sadly I'm well late to the party but look forward to catching up! You've also chosen such a lovely prize. I've worked on 3 projects for Craft Hope and love the community of Global crafters!
Thx for sharing.
