Summer Duds

I've been sewing.

If you've been following me for a while, you know I love the little details,

little tabs and collars,

pockets with trim,

mismatched pockets and sleeves,

and contrasting buttons.

It's all very summery.

It's all little boy.

Wishing you all the good summery things,

Sharon

A Birthday and a Finish

Here is my completed large crochet project shown in progress here and here.  

It is a one handled bucket made for GB#3 for his birthday.  

I imagine him dragging it around.

It was designed to hold these vintage wood blocks that used to belong to his Daddy.

Happy Birthday, big guy!

The Ear Flap Hat

I've made a hat for GB#3.

He did not scream when I put it on him, a good thing as M points out.

He left it on long enough to have a little "face to face" with Grandpa.

For the Little Man

 I grabbed a small chunk of time today and finished this little pair of pants for GB#3.

They are lined with flannel which turns up for a cuff and will keep him warm.

The pattern I used is the Basic Newborn Pant from Made by Rae.

I made a few adjustments including making them fully lined so they would be reversible and

making them a couple inches longer so they could be cuffed.

This little people sewing is just too much fun!

Wishing you fun (and a little sewing time),

Sharon

A Couple of Young Men

T-bone (DS) was sworn in as a lawyer today.  We are so proud of that young man.

Later in the day we did our 4 month shoot for GB#3.

These are a few of the shots that didn't make picture of the day.

Here's looking at you,

Sharon
