So, to update you all on the past several weeks (and to explain my absence from the blog): we had a baby girl on March 25! I was very surprised to have a girl, and my thinking went something like this: #1 No bris (circumcision), woo-hoo! #2 I will get my friend Arianne's awesome hand-me-downs, double woo-hoo! #3 I can finally craft the full spectrum of baby clothes, triple whammy woo-hoo! For those of you who don't follow the world of crafty books and blogs, it is a very, very girl-centric world. There aren't many patterns for boys and what's out there is pretty boring (although one of my heroes, Rae, took a stab at improving this over the winter: see here). Now all the twirly skirts, sundresses and ruffled tunics are mine to try at home!I haven't been sewing very much. At all. But at six weeks, Liora is at least starting to fit into some of the stuff I sewed her before she was born. Here's the kimono I blogged about back in January. It fits a chunky baby this age very well and I like it much better on her than I did when I finished sewing it.
Even the bias tape side ties, which I found a bit bulky with this gauzy cotton, look just fine now:
Hopefully I will have a new post soon about some postpartum completed projects!
