Avalon was in dire need of new jammies, so I got 2 pairs done. Another 2 pairs are in varying stages on the sewing table, along with a shirt that Kaia requested.

Mugging for the camera

Another basic Olivia dress, super soft baby rib knit, fold over elastic neckline. I loved this print when I first saw it, and it seemed just right for a little summer dress. Poor Avalon is PJ-less, so I think I'll make her some jammies from the leftovers.

There's something really magical about the final seam before the finishing work. I love it when an actual garment suddenly emerges out of the pile of fabric. These are lounge pants for Michelle of Green Kitchen, since she likes mushrooms and I thought the print was fun.

Ignore the rip in the couch, it's hard to have nice furniture when you live with a jumping monkey!

Olivia underdress pattern without pocket or hood, made short sleeved. My Little Pony jersey, sparkly pink fold-over-elastic neckline. Kaia is going to plotz when she wakes up and sees that I finished it.
I love this little dress pattern, it's twirlier than a t-shirt dress, doesn't require gathering or a zipper, and makes little girls happy.

I was tired of looking at this twill on my shelf, so I cut and serged it and it sat unfinished on my sewing table til I rethreaded the machines in pink yesterday. I hope they still fit.

Pants for Carlo


Pants for Carlo

Carlo is one of my favorite baby boys in my life. I made these pants from leftover red stretch corduroy that I had bought for pants for Kaia. Michelle (Green Kitchen) loves mushrooms and I hit her up for a strip of these to finish off the pants. I only hope they still fit Carlo after all these months of sitting unfinished on my sewing table. The other nice thing about making stuff for Carlo is that he eventually outgrows things and Avalon gets to wear them. ;)
