Prim Snowmen at the Cabin

These prim looking snowmen on a silvery stick
are a great addition to a pot of greenery or
your home decor.



Dress Up Clothes

Some of the latest creations made at Log Cabin Sewing Studio
are some adorable dress-up clothes for the kiddos.  For little girls,
some sweet felt princess crowns and a dress-up skirt with net ruffle.



And for the tough guys, some superhero masks
and Batman capes.

Hemming Ladies Dress Pants

This fall, Log Cabin Sewing Studio has been very busy
hemming, particularly ladies dress pants.




This hem was actually an exension in length, after these pants shrunk.
The addition of seam binding gave some much needed extra length.


More ladies dress pants with a hand sewn hem.




And finally, pants where the leg width was reduced by 1 1/4 inches
and hemmed.


Sleep Sacks and Sleep Masks

I wish I had sleep sacks when my oldest child was a baby.  
We lived in an old century home, and the bedrooms were cold 
in the winter!  A sleep sack allows the baby to move, but keeps
their bodies and feet toasty warm - because they can't kick it off.



And speaking of sleeping, sleep masks are great for the daytime sleeper, 
or blocking out any bothersome light.



These masks are made with soft flannel, in patterns I've dubbed 
"Fresh as a Daisy", "Country Plaid" and 
"Johnny Tartan" (made especially for my sister!).



Log Cabin Jewelry Roll

This adorable jewelry roll is perfect for traveling!
With two zippered pockets and a ring placket,
it keeps your jewelry safe and compact.



And folded up and tied with a bow...

Preparing for Winter with Jacket Repairs

It's that time of year where we pull out our family's warm fall and winter jackets
and take stock of what still fits, and what might need repaired.  Kids are 
hard on their clothes, and most times they are worth repairing.

Like the zipper in this fleece Bench jacket,
And a winter jacket zipper,


The underarm seams on this West 49 jacket,


And a corner tear on the sleeve of this child's winter coat,

Are you all set for the cool weather that's on it's way?




Animal Blankies made at Log Cabin Sewing Studio

Last spring, my kids both had teachers who were expecting babies.
The new moms loved these little animal blankies, just under 24 inches long,
that are perfect for snuggly, sleepy or play time.
This led to the production of some custom orders.... a monkey
and a pair of ducks.
