What? Sewing?

Yes, I’ve been sewing. Yesterday, I made Abby a pair of Capris with fabric she chose from my humble stash.

They turned out well, but a bit tall in the waist.

Today, my friend April came over and together we sewed skirts for our girls. Abby is the one in need of clothes, as she’s growing like a horse, so I made my skirt for her.

I. Love. My. Serger.

I serge everything I possibly can and it’s so fun!

It is the strangest thing, seeing fabric that has sat in bags on the shelf in the form of “yardage” for over a year suddenly running around a park on the bottom half of my kid as clothing. It’s very gratifying.

Liv is beside herself, bouncing off the walls to know when I’m going to sew for her. It’s cute. Particularly since she’s my fashionista, so I’m flattered she wants me to make her clothes.

I wonder how long that will last.

Finally, Clark was looking completely cute the other day, and I took some pictures.

He has this little curl that stands straight up on the top of his head, and sometimes, he gets a little curl on either side of his head at the same time. A little triangle of curly, blonde cuteness.

I’ve also been knitting on the stole, but it looks pretty much the same as a few days ago, just longer.
