Elizabeth and I have been apart due to back to school, new schedules and excuses. I finally made a sewing plan for Christmas and today was 'prototype' day.
I had this pile:
and started laying the pieces out:
NOTE: I really am thinking it is time for a 'gathering foot'. I wonder if it would have made this a tad easier or faster!?
and it starts to come together:
it is taking shape: 
AND a final product!
I am so glad I accomplished this today! I even sewed in one of my new sewing labels.
And it is a good thing I made this prototype because it will be too small for the niece I made it for! Now, my other lucky little niece will get it as a surprise on Thanksgiving. I have fabrics all picked out for many more of these. SO CUTE!
