Sewing and Crawling

(I wrote this the first week of August and didn't post because I didn't have the right pictures.  I'm posting it now.  Still sans pics.)

C learned to crawl this week.  Thus the lack of posts.  It's like getting a new job.  There's a lot to learn and it's exhausting.  She is one heck of a boss.  She expects a lot.  Here she is.  And I love how she claps for herself at the end.  She does the same thing when she sees Elmo.


I did a few projects this week though:  I made the Sorbetto Top from Colette Patterns.
At first it was too short, and a little too tight.

So I figured out how to adjust the pattern for my bust size and voila!

I was inspired by "Make This Look" on Sew Weekly and then I saw that she was doing a 7 Days of Sorbetto series.  Yay!  I love the top I made and can't wait to do another one, maybe this time with sleeves.  I want ot make them as gifts, show other people how to make them, and then make some more.  That's how much I loved this pattern and the final product.


I also made a bubble romper for Little C using McCall's MP402 view C.  Instead of the pocket I added a flower.  What do babies need pockets for?  Apparently pacifiers.  Due to the bubble-ness of her outfit she lost all 3 pacifiers into her pants last night.  Maybe if she had a pocket to put them in that wouldn't have happened.

She's sleeping for now, but I still have to shower (I know, I'm being lazy) and pack for the weekend and finish writing my Maid of Honor speech (whoops!) for the wedding.  And baby bounce (the last one of the summer...wah, wah) is in 30 minutes.  If I get it all done, maybe I can whip up some baby legs this afternoon.
