show and tell

i made fleece pajamas for the kids for Christmas.




mary jane's are cut the same as samantha's but have a different print. i enjoyed making the girls pajamas. they are so roomy- once samantha is in bed she just pulls her feet inside and has her own little cocoon all night.



George has so many pj pants that i just made him a pillow.


i knit a pilot cap/dallas coyboys helmet for my little nephew/Godson jon-luc. i had george model it before i gave it away.

i made giganta-booties for max back in october. they are auburn colored because he's a fan by osmosis. you see, chris' fanatacism is so fantastic, it's contagious.



i am knitting some booties for a friend of mine's little angel. they will be finished once i sew them up the back.



got some lambswool sweaters at st. vincent de paul's. turned this houndstooth sweater into some wool soaker longies. i just cut the sleeves off and made them have a higher rise than most pants. i folded over the waist and sewed it down to make a sheath for some drawstring. then i lanolized them to be water proof and voila!



mary jane loves pockets and i love the comfort of a t-shirt dress. so i made this t-shirt dress for her from one of my old pregnancy shirts. she has 3 of these so far, and there are a few more shirts sitting on the sewing pile waiting to be repurposed.

and finally- a little something for myself - and the bean of course. modeled after a moby wrap. i like this carrier for long time wear and walking. not so easy as a sling to nurse in but it's SUPER comfy!


i wanted to take a pic of the alphabet wall hanging i made back in 2001. it was actually my second sewing project on my path to learning how to sew. i had just as much fun searching for the fabric as i did piecing it together.

here is a closup for detail.
