AKA the saga of the weedlike child. Does this happen to anybody else? You get some time, or the sewing bug bites, and you trace off and make a bunch of stuff in size X. You wish you had this kid's wardrobe. So many wonderful clothes, kiddo gets to wear each one only a few times, because BOOM -- three months later, all that great size X stuff is cutting off circulation at the armpits and the former trousers are mid-shin. Now you're wearing those same two pairs of sweatpants every day because that's all that fits!
Hm, kind of reminds me of pregnancy, actually...
