Sewing in July

Sewing in July is thought to be good luck in Ireland. It is said that if you sew two things during the month of July your luck doubles. I made that up. But, honestly I did sew two things in July. Here they are:

a. a purse I sewed and embroidered (pattern from Bend the Rules of Sewing)

b. a skirt I sewed from old pajama pants, my high school graduation dress, a t-shirt, and a pair of pants from goodwill (pattern from a skirt I bought at Saturday Market)
