Those cities inspired this little town, and my favorite part about them is the versatility of the brownstone building. For the photo shoot we made a parking garage and a yarn store. I still want to make an apartment building (with a little garbage can in the back) and maybe a brownstone or a townhouse. The little houses are so much fun to decorate. I made a pink one that we didn&#8217;t use for the book that was inspired by a Victorian house with an elaborate covered porch and fancy windows.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, upcoming project for the sew-along include the Explorer Vest or the Red Riding Hood in March, and the Travel Quilt in April. If you look back through the archives you&#8217;ll find the previous featured projects: the Bucket Hat, Penguin Backpack, Bias-Trimmed Apron, Puppet Theater, Cozy Winter Hood, and the Bear Carrier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jessica over at A Little Gray has been hosting a year-long sew-along for Little Things to Sew.
