I can be a crazed woman at times. I go through get spurts of productivity, generally followed by periods of quiet exhaustion/reflection. I try to keep it all in balance... I have my good days and my bad. My sister's wedding is this weekend so to make myself extra frantic to get it all done I SEWED A SHIRT FOR THE WEDDING! What was I thinking?! Last night I was happy to get it done, but chiding myself that surely I could have found something for him to wear among all his hand me downs. (I should explain that I can't fit extra hours into a day by staying up late. I need my sleep or everyone suffers.) This shirt should have gone pretty quickly, but I kept making mistakes. The fabric is Robert Kauffman. The pattern is from Heather Ross's "Weekend Sewing." I was pleased with it, but the sizing runs REALLY large.... or maybe my sweet boy is really small. Hard to say, but the size 3 in this shirt fit my 6 year old, so I had to cut it down. Now... for a crazed morning of cleaning this house which has suffered through the past several weeks of sewing. Hope that you all have a wonderful weekend!Friday, June 19, 2009
Something for my little guy

You got it done! looks great! Are you going swimming today?
That is really cute! I'm so afraid of making camp shirt style tops-- I don't know why. I think it's the collar. I've heard that WS has some serious sizing issues-- did you have to rip the whole thing apart? Have fun at the wedding!
Wonderful shirt!!!
What a perfect use for that fabric! I love that fabric. Glad to hear the wedding went well.
