Sewing 
Got the fabric from Textile Studios sometime in the past year+. I finally decided how to use it and then once it was made up – it was too small. There is not enough stretch in the fabric to make it work for me. I would end up just ripping seams…so, I either donate or I hang on to it and cut it up for something else.
I will say, the inspiration for this came from Dawn, and her striped shirt. I wanted to be JUST LIKE HER…except I don’t have the body….or the energy.
Anyhoo, enjoy the pics….I love my cuffs so will have to do this again sometime and just make sure it fits me!! Please ignore my funny look…

Sewing 
I finally used up the GREEN fleece I got from Dawn. I used a RTW V neck pullover and just “copied” it. Because this has the wind barrier in it, the fabric holds shape better. I put deep hems on the sleeves and the bottom. This stuff caused FUZZ all over the place. 
I also made up some more baby stuff….I doubt the parents read this blog but just in case, I won’t say anymore. See the little car fabric on the side panels of the overalls? That is Liberty of London fabric. I bought that a year ago while in England. Pricey stuff but perfect for the little boy. Working on another snugglee right now then hope to move on the the Amy Butler Cabo Halter (in silk ombre) for my trip to Hawaii next month!! Hopefully I can cut into that tomorrow….
