Quick summer projects

Ah, summer..It's been a very nice summer so far! 
                                We've been getting tons of use out of our pool.  




I haven't been able to sew very much with the heat. 
 Maybe moving my sewing area into the attic wasn't such a good idea!!
Anyway here are a few of the projects I have managed to do!

A Robot sun hat for Travis.

He wears this every day, which is great since this fella sure doesn't need any more freckles.

Pretending to be a lifeguard and "saving" his brother.

The other short and easy project I made for Travis were these recycled T-Shirt boxers:


These boxers are so soft, and work well for summer pajamas too!
Pattern for these is the Undercover Bottoms Boxer Briefs.

Earlier in the spring, I bought all 3 Alabama Chanin books, including the latest, Alabama Studio Sewing + Design, and wow, what eye-candy those books are.  I want to make so many things from those books.  Because I don't need a machine for these projects (or be locked in a sweltering hot room), I made a few things from the book, I'll show you those next!
