craft day

i had a craft frenzy yesterday. it was incredible. bodie took an exceptionally long nap and bryson was busy making collages...i thought it may preoccupy him with his whole obsession with cutting with "sharp scissors"...indeedy i was right! while he was busy cutting away, i made 3 outfits (all for little boys thank you very much and even 1 of them for my own boy, extra bonus points to me!) plus finished a hooter hider that sat unfinished for over a year, plus mended 2 pairs of bryson's pants. i was in the "zone" a fine tuned sewing crazed machine...i have learned to be super efficient with sewing time...


i may unveil the other outfits if i decide to post them in my shop...still have not decided...but this delightful little outfit came from the wonderful japanese fabric i found here. it is sold by the half yard and she is having a closing sale...40% off! i struggled with it for a while. i made this ghetto pants pattern where i turned a pair of pants that bryson had that i liked the look of inside out...traced it onto some newspaper and added a 1/2" seam allowance. i have since made pants from real "patterns" but they were a lot more cutting and work and frankly i didnt think they fit as nicely as the other pants i made from my ghetto pattern...so i made peace with it and made them from my pattern, they are a little long - meant for him to grow into...and the shirt is 12-18 months...i did not expect it to fit, but i should have realized this is BODIE...he skipped 6-9 months clothes...also i struggled with the shirt for a while, but i like the pieced together way it turned out. i think it just may be perfect for a certain birthday party...hmmm....

i also posted a pic of bryson's beautiful collage.
enjoy your weekend!
