I brought two sewing and one knitting project. I have the lilac short sleeved princess top, and brought cream stretch twill for the flare leg pants. Good thing, too, these Neue Mode ones are too big on me now. I…

I did not realize until tonight that Jalie comes down to  a girls’ size 2~ So peanut is getting some matching tops to mama! I have only one Jalie top so far but that might get me to order more…

I sewed a great version of the princess coat 427, in that yummy raspberry and cream boucle I bought at Christine’s studio open house last fall. It was easy! In fact, I was not even nervous to sew a jacket…
