I made Michelle some pants with this fabric a while back, and I eked a tshirt out of the scraps when Kaia begged for it. She wore it to preschool today and didn't get paint on it, a first for her. Usually everything I make gets stained the very next day.

Short romper for Carlo, made from a couple of morphed patterns. It's not my best work, but I adore the fabric.

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.
