KCWC early start
So last year, a friend gave me some of her old clothes to refashion…. I turned this pair of stretch cord jeans into maternity pants a while back, but the stretch is a little too much, and the maternity aspect makes them fall down. I thought and thought about how to fix them, and then […]
KCWC cheat…
This spring’s KCWC doesn’t start till next week, but I’m getting inspired, so I whipped a t-shirt for D out tonight. All stash fabrics from the garage, pattern traced from a currently fitting shirt. I’m a little worried about how it’ll hold up, as it’s made from tissue thin jersey, and he has a GINORMOUS […]
A bag.
as part of passing on a board position at the kiddos’ preschool, I made a bag to hold the 1st VP binder….

Lots of different Dr Seuss fabrics, and some Kona solids…. when you lift up the Kona solids, you’ll find textured fabrics underneath…. I only photographed some of the underneaths, but there is: laminated cotton, […]
Crockett pants
Im preparation for the new arrival…. a pair of wool longies (hopefully a long size 3-6m)… just because, I knitted the Fibonacci sequence in on one leg…. (starting on the left, with the orange: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and then the cuff…) I also drafted out a pair of 3-6m pants, with extra […]
