Mad dash

My sewing came to a halt when Liora woke up and started demanding more attention and eye contact.  I haven't been able to catch my breath sufficiently over the last two three months to sew properly, or blog at all.  Oh, and I went back to work, too!  Here's what you missed over the summer.  The 2010 sewing season is now closed.

1. Another Ottobre mekko, this time in teal linen.  Pardon the chalk marks and wrinkles.  See above excuses.


2. Corduroy overalls in a pattern that screams, "My mama was born in the '70s!"  Houndstooth hearts, people!  This is the best pattern for baby overalls that I've found.  The contrast gathered cuffs keep the pants down at the ankles and there's lots of room for a cloth diapered tush.  The shoulder straps are thick and don't slip off.
