Why is it that I’ve been spending ALL.MY.TIME sewing for Oliver and none of it sewing for me?!
Yah, probably because it’s SO much faster to sew for him, it takes much less fabric, and it’s SO much cuter! I mean, imagine me in a construction vehicle shirt! NOT!
Remember about a year ago when I made him a little kimono shirt out of that adorable Naughty Monkey Japanese fabric?
I found that shirt in the back of his closet and tried it on him. It still fit, although it was tight in the chest and arms.
So yesterday I made him a new one, this time out of a similar, but slightly different Naught Racoon Japanese fabric:
As with last year, he wouldn’t hold still long enough to get a decent modeling shot.
Then this afternoon I whipped out some ADORABLE (if I do say so myself!) soft-soled slippers ala Robeez using this tutorial (well, I had to size them UP for my Little Bigfoot who’s in a size 8!):
The bottoms are made using some scraps of suede from Hubby (leftover from reupholstering a client’s chair or something):
They were VERY quick and easy.
But NOW I’m going to work on something for myself!
