Vacation = Creation

I have spent some (though, regrettably, not ALL!) of my vacation sewing. Here are three lightweight swaddling blankets, all in seersucker Indian cotton with homemade seambinding. I particularly like the non-baby-colored one in rust and khaki, so it got an extra-special tag.

I also made three sleepsacks out of cotton knit. Unfortunately, JoAnn's has a very poor selection of cotton knit and I just could not find the strength to place another online order. You can see that I have abandoned being gender-neutral and instead just embraced "boy" and "girl" motifs for Petit Loup! Trucks, daisies, cherries, whatever! I like the design of the matching hat but found that in the overly-stretchy waffle knits, the hats got too big very fast. One may not fit the baby until it's walking! Alas, the center sack was hastily cut out, yielding upside-down apples on the front. Shabby, shabby Miss Mama!
