Whoops!

Earlier this summer, I had a little piece of denim left over from another project and decided to make T some shorts out of it. I very cleverly maneuvered the pieces to fit them onto the fabric and use up that itty bitty piece. But . . . I neglected to pay any attention to whether or not the right sides were facing up! LOL!

I let the pieces sit in my sewing basket until a couple nights ago, when I decided to say "heck with it" and sew them up and consider the mismatched pieces a "design element" instead of a flaw.





I *love* them! I wish I had sewn them up right away so T could wear them this summer. At least we usually have plenty of warm days in September.

More Sewing for T--Birthday Outfit

That's right--a birthday outfit! I can't believe my baby boy is two!



(Pardon the little stray thread on the front of the shirt--I just noticed it as I was posting.)

The shirt is from Kwik Sew's Sewing for Toddlers, and the pants are from Kwik Sew pattern no. 2858.

I still need to hem the bottom of the shirt (it's currently just serged with white thread ), but my regular sewing machine is out of commission, so I'll just have to wait until my new one arrives. (Oh yes, I'm getting a new sewing machine! I'm over the moon excited!)

I see lots more of these little t-shirts in our future--especially since knits come in 60" wide pieces.

Thanks for looking!
