Aloha Burn Blocker

I recently sewed up the Aloha burn blocker from peek-a-boo pattern shop for their

swimsuit sew-a-long. It is still happening so

**GET ON IT**

Anyhow I reviewed the pattern and thought I would share it with you!

Pattern Description:

Pattern includes short and long sleeves and features a zip-up front for easy on/off. A full zipper shield keeps the suit comfortable on the inside, prevents chafing at the neckline and keeps the zipper pull out of reach for the little ones. Mix and match your favorite fabrics with the color blocked sleeves and inseam accent.

Pattern Sizing:
This pattern is sized from 3 months to 12 years.

Did it look like the photo on the pattern envelopes once you were done sewing it?
It looks EXACTLY like the pattern pictures. 

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes. Peek-a-boo pattern shop always includes fantastic photos along with their pattern instructions. You don't get lost.ever.

Fabric Used:
I used some swimsuit lycra that I had in my stash, I bought it from lycra4sale on Ebay. Their prices are great and I never had a problem ordering from them!

In conclusion this pattern is super easy
and who doesn't want their little ones protected from excessive sun exposure? 

Anyone who sews and has kids or grand kids under 6 months should have this pattern to sew then up one because at that age it's not recommended they wear sunscreen!

Mini Log Cabin Week#3

It is week 3 on the Sew Can She sew along.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thought I would check in and show my progress.

I have all my quilt blocks done and squared up.
Now I just gotta figure out what they are going to BE.

 I think the owls are going to be a pillow.

I think this might end up a tote bag
with the single block centered on
the opposite side.








I don't think that this a hard quilt block just time consuming.
Each block is just 4.5" square so each "log" before sewing is only 1" wide.
 It is a lot of pressing and squaring but the end result is really cool.
