I just love the fourth of July. Well, all things summer really. This little over a yard of cotton print fabric was a thrift store score that I just knew would be a fantastic color choice, on our little resident fire cracker :)
The price couldn't be beat (2.00!) and while there was some sun fading in various sections, it isn't nearly enough to be noticeable and anyway, I think it's just part of the charm of reusing, don't you? The pattern is my own design and the second version of this simple cross-over pull on style. Which by the way, I love... no buttons or zippers, which makes it really quick and easy to whip up ....say, come Monday morning, when inspiration finally struck (ahem.)
Outside, and all dressed in mama made (knit bag, blanket, clip) the imaginative play of puppy and owner continued with her big sister. Ah, these tender moments that highlight our warm summer days.
