Sewing..

No updates on the chair so far, it is sitting in the corner of the living room covered with a trash bag so the kids don't rip up the foam. The tots + stuff you can pick at = an airborn messy disaster!

I made some pajama shorts for Aidan, totally cute and soft. They were from an old polo shirt that was getting stained and too short for me. I am keeping the top part of the shirt to make a pattern from for future use. I love polo shirts, I don't have nearly enough of them.


My SEWING DESK is coming along nicely. You read that right! A sewing desk! A whole section of the room, just for me! It's been awesome so far! Look at these exclamation points! I am so excited!

I am currently working on a buttoned pajama shirt (I drafted the pattern) with matching pillowcase for Natalie and a pillow for her baby bear for Christmas. I want to sew something for Aidan too. I am thinking of piecing out a train or a tug boat on a long sleeved shirt for him.

It's the most crafty/sewing productive I have ever been in my entire life... feels so good to be organized! I love it! Exclamation point! Exclamation point! One! Exclamation point! I've got a few products planned out... I have a button down shirt I spilled wine on (oops!) that I've already deconstructed and will be turned into a dress for Natalie for next summer. I am using this as my inspiration. I also, like I said before, want to make a polo shirt for myself.

Did I read that right? Oh wait - you said I did ... A sewing desk in your own corner of the world!? Wow! Very cute shorts for Aidan; but you aren't using ALL your clothes to make things, are you? Wouldn't that create a bit of a clothing shortage for you eventually?

No, just old shirts that no longer fit or are stained :)

I stop at the good stuff! I don't need to sew that bad :) Besides, I have plenty of non-knit clothes stacked up over the years for other things...
