This sleep sack was made from a Big4 pattern. I made it for AnnaBelle for her Christmas gift, among other things. She looks so cute in the hat! She isn't wild about hats but she looks adorable in them.
This outfit is from the Ottobre 5/2006 issue, pattern #8. Miss AnnaBelle's mom loves this. She said it looks like it came from the store. I wanted to use the pink giraffe fabric, but I needed something that would keep her warm as well. I do believe I achieved that. The bamboo velour looks awesome with the pink and green. The feet weren't even as hard as I thought they would be.
I made this top for myself from Kwik Sew #3370 and some $2 per yard WalMart fabric. If you watch, you can find some decent stuff there for a good price. This is velour; I'm sure it's polyester, but still it's got a nice nap to it and it's comfy as heck. I keep wearing it as soon as it gets clean. In fact, a couple days ago I picked up some more fabric and I'm going to make another one. I will be trying just a bit harder to keep the stripes straight, though, so they don't go on an incline. I thought I had this one straight but I guess not, huh? Still, it's not for a special occasion so it really doesn't matter all ath much.
And finally, I made these for my son from the Kwik Sew pattern #3298, the same pattern as Tobie's boxer briefs. These have the long leg option while Tobie's have the short one, but that is the only difference. I'm waiting to see if he likes them. He's not really fussy and his other underwear are getting a bit raggy, so I decided to make him several pair at once and just get it over with.
I have one project cut out, Alex's birthday present in the plans, and I also want to make myself another denim jumper with a long sleeved t-shirt to go along with it. I have the fabrics picked out and all; it's just a matter of getting them done. I am also working on hand-quilting a king-sized 110" by 110" quilt for Abby and Donovan's bed. It's taking longer than I ever thought it would, but it will be nice when it's done.
Staying busy is a good thing. It keeps me out of trouble.

Just happened on your blog-love the outfits. Where did you get the pink giraffe fabric? Am desperately searching for it for my SIL. Thanks!
Tina: I cannot answer your question anywhere but here. You don't allow access to your profile. I bought the fabric from a coop I belong to. Here is the link for the store where the fabric is sold if you don't happen to belong to the coop: http://www.naturesfabrics.com/
Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate it. Trisha
Our Walmart cut out their fabric and notions dept. I thought it was a sad thing. The baby clothes are darling.
