August is productive

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

I have been sewing non-stop this month. I’ve made a bunch of little dresses to sell, and a few cute things for Miss O, too. I’ve even finished a few un-finished-objects that were languishing in the garage. I broke down and brought my sewing table back into the living room. (I put in in the garage a couple months ago, after finding Miss O on top of it with my sewing pins arranged artfully in her lap.) I really can’t live without it, so I just put all my tools back in the garage when I’m finished. The reclamation of my sewing spot seems to have sparked my creativity, and I’ve been going like mad. I think I’m going to take a sewing break this evening, though, and do some knitting. It’s almost that time of year, after all.

Take a peek below at some of the things I’ve made this month.

Unfinished Diapering Objects

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006

In between picking E up from the rifle range after a vehicle malfuction and hitting the grocery store for fajita fixin’s, I worked on finishing up some cloth diapers that I’ve had cut out for months. Two will fit Little G, and the other five are for Miss O. I don’t have any photos to share, because they’re not done yet. I still have to apply the snaps, but I’m waiting for my order from The Snap Store arrives.

*17 August– My snaps arrived, and I finally pulled out my handy-dandy heavier-than-all-get-out snap press yesterday. All the diapies are all snapped up, and most of them have made it into the laundry already.*

Two more tshirts

Tuesday, August 1st, 2006

I finished two more UFOs this afternoon. Earlier this summer I cut out matching tshirts for Miss O and myself, but never sewed them up. I can’t even remember why not. The fabric is a fun lime green tropical print, 100% cotton jersey, from Fabric.com. I used an excellent pattern from Jalie, #2005 "Choice of Tshirts."
