Lately I’ve blogged about my sewing projects, so I thought I’d share some pictures of the finished projects. The boys loved their new John Deere pajama pants. Caleb’s fit him, but weren’t nearly as long as I expected them to be. He’s grown more in …
Saturday was one of those rare days when I was actually able to get some sewing done. First, I made Anna a new gown. Her pajamas are too warm for summer and she’s about to outgrow them anyway. The fabric is a very delicate knit …
