It’s all in the numbers.

Four dresses, two days. One midnight, twenty-four pleats and eight ruffles finished in record (for me) time. Three opinionated girls, one opinionated but not on fabric choices, and one big brown button when the reason for those snaps on infant clothing became quite clear. Rippingly so.

Two boys are waiting their turn for something new. One impatiently.

Fun. So fun.

      http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2009/04/spring-sewing-spring-ruffle-top-tutorial/ is the pattern I started with. It’s for a woman’s shirt. Downsize and make longer… they are pretty simple.

    They looked absolutely beautiful in those dresses. You have got mom “game.” Looking forward to seeing what you turn out for the boys.If you should notice a missing blue sock that would fit Pierce… suffice to say that the lion doesn’t only eat my socks. It is clean and may be hand-delivered soon. :o)-Michelle
