So, Tuesday I managed to get to my sewing stuff & sort it out & organize it during nap time. Then, when Tim got home I managed to sew two pairs of pants, from a recycled wool sweater...one for each boy!!
They aren't "wonky", I just tossed them on the floor & snapped the picture. They actually lay flat & are totally adorable. I also didn't take an "action" shot of Luke, since I made his a couple inches too long, planning to finalize the hem in the fall when he starts wearing them.
I didn't do much of anything else Tuesday besides cleaning house.
Wednesday morning I attempted to go meet up with a diaperswappers mama who is new in the area. We're working out a trade (she's going to knit a cocoon & hat for #2 & I'm going to sew diapers/soakers for her 1 year old) and were going to meet at the yarn store. BUT, she got lost & didn't make it. :(
Luke & I grabbed McDonald's and then went to the bank before driving home.
While Luke slept I worked on a pair of shorts for him. He actually woke up before I got them sewn together, but I had to draft a completely new pattern (with side seams instead of crotch seams) so it was a lot of work.
While he played I got them sewn up & then tried on him. I think they are adorable, even if he didn't have a t-shirt to match yesterday. (They are in the wash.)
They are made from fleece which works as a diaper cover, so that's nice. I love the long leg shorts style! It makes him look tall & protects his knees from the MANY times he falls down while playing outside!
After I finished sewing I got to work on the housework. We just ate soup out of the pantry for dinner and then cleaned up.
Tim bathed Luke while I ran out to Dunkin Donuts & Farm Fresh. I love the little trips out by myself. I can open the windows & turn the music up & I get to drive MY Corolla.
By the time I got home, we had about 30 minutes to eat dessert & relax before getting ready for bed. :)
