sewing secrets ::

Yippee!  I have no pictures yet, but I do want to give my sewing progress update thus far:

::  three jammy pants finished for Ruby . . .

::  one pair left and they are cut - just not sewn

::  one sundress partially made - elastic and a ruffle await . . .

::  and the larger jammy pattern arrived today for August . . . maybe tomorrow!

I am officially tired.  So off to bed I go.  Happy sewing to all of you!

 

kids' clothes week challenge ::

Today begins the week-long challenge I've been anticipating for several weeks now!  By joining, I have just given myself permission to sew well into each evening for a week . . . too fun!  And what am I sewing?  Clothes for my kiddos!  For at least an hour every night, every challenge participant is to sew clothes (or create patterns - which I find more than a bit intriguing!) for her kids.  (Or maybe somebody else's kids . . . could be, you know!) 

So what's on deck?  We've got stacks of materials ready to be made into at least eight pairs of j's for a Sir August and Miss Ruby.  When I mow through that, I've got ideas for some summer pants for August and a sundress for Rubes.  And if I can find just the right material, I'd like to make a little pant-suit for Ruby.

I probably should never have said everything I want to make.  Not out loud, anyway.   I know I'll never get it all done, but it's fun to make the list.  :-)  So no judging if I report back next week with only two pairs of j's!
