I think about this a lot, too. We get lovely hand-me-downs from a cousin and an older friend. I usually take a few things and pass the rest on to other friends. There always seem to be enough dresses (said cousin gets things from an aunt with a penchant for amazing French hand-smocking), so I try not to make too many of those. Over time, I’ve…[Read more]

Finally.

Finally.

I’ll have to dig through my patterns and see how many I am missing. Though I have already sewn 2 this week LOL.

Voila

Finally started on some layette for my June boy! First up is the lullaby layette set plus a pilot cap. I’m. So. Excited. 🙂

@Sarvi and @lilypadmontana You can do it! I’ll be doing this through the end of May. Just work it in…maybe during KCW?

I just made size 5 for my soon to be 6year old who is crazy skinny. The previous size I made her was a size 3 from 2 years ago…..which was getting a bit hard to put on, but fit once on. The size 5 is a bit room, and she easily could put a top on underneath as it’s a bit roomy (I probably should’ve made a 4….but I really want her to wear this…[Read more]

I’m so very tempted! If only I didn’t have so many other things that needed to be sewn first. I’ll have fun watching 🙂

What a fun idea! Unfortunately I have a backlog right now but if I can finish up quickly I’ll join!

Thanks @lightningMcStitch Yours is lovely, and I think just what I’m looking for. Now to decide…

I’ll be sewing them the rest of April and all May. The link up and Rafflecopter will close May 28th. The skirts are a great place to start! Thanks for joining me.

I wonder this a lot myself. My kids are the very lucky recipients of gently used wardrobes from 2 different sets of cousins and a couple neighbors. All told this means we have tons and tons of clothes, some literally with tags still attached. I packed up my son’s winter clothes last week – 20+ shirts-and this is after I boxed up half of them at…[Read more]

Hahahaha Problem solved.
Could have been catastrophic but wasn’t 🙂

(ok, now I have the “We solved the problem” song from Peg + Cat going around my head…)

I agree that it is a 50-50 proposition. My daughter’s wardrobe is huge compared to her brothers. But… he wears jeans and the same 6 t shirts, I swear.

My daughter goes through these no dress/skirt phases for like a month. It peeves me because pants to NOT stay up on her. She gets narrower as she goes down, so they slide right off.

But…[Read more]

Another insomnia-drivn late night at the machine. I learned last week not to attempt anything other than the dead simple at tht time of night, so I made another maternity top and skirt. I made the last two tops super simple with no ruching in hopes that I can also use them during those first post partum weeks when nothing else fits.
