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.

    YOU are a role model. I’m impressed with all that you do AND that you do it from/in your home first. You could sell a million things you had made and it wouldn’t even compare to how wonderful it is to make stuff for you kids. You make me want to drop everything a whip up some fancy skirts for my little gals. Cheers!

    Oh, Clark looks so cute! I take it he’s feeling better?!

    I love the skirt, that will look great on Abby; I’m glad you’re having so much fun with sewing. Plus, using up the stash, nice, very nice.

    Awesome capris!! It’s too bad you’ve got so many girls lined up for the hand me downs; my 5 year old would look smashing in those 🙂
