Sew, Baby

**WEE TINY SWAPPERS: if you haven’t received your Wee Tiny Sock, please email my sister (annae0055 AT yahoo DOT com)!**

We now return to the regularly scheduled post.

I’ve always had a problem with summertime knitting. Wool is hot. I usually make a lot of CounterPain progress in the summer – which is good since my 2009 CounterPain Progress = ZERO. And the toy making is going well. And there is Son of Dish Rag Tag (more on that in another post, I need some ideas).

And.

In the summertime.

I remember that I have a sewing machine.

It started because Ellie needed new pajamas (without snaps, she learned how to work snaps). Then I made Spring Ruffled Top from Rae’s tutorial!

I don’t know why I look so cranky. Here’s the back.

Next time, I will taper the ruffles so there is room for arm divots and add the side shaping. I love it and it is comfy cool so there is a definitely a next time. Now I’ve got plans for all of this:

And more!

Tops, skirts, pajamas for everyone and shorts for Ellie!

I also really really need to get on Hunter’s Graduation Socks. It would be nice to be able to wrap at least one without the needles still in it. They are, however, made of wool. As we’ve already discussed: wool is hot.

    I love the new top! Tonight is my sewing night. I think I’ll have to whip one out. Love the fabric, too. I have the light blue with the mocha and natural pattern. It is great.
