About the Kids and Other Stuff

can you picture that?

October is Halloween costume time. I have been sewing. Either I started out being very careful and particular or else the longer the sew the less it makes sense to me, because I have ripped out nearly as many seams as I have sewn in the last 3 days. I started out with pattern projects and have worked my way down to freestyle work. I am incredibly frustrated by patterns. I ignore any step that doesn’t involve attaching 2 pieces together or hemming. (I’m looking at you easy-stitching!) But taking Henry’s regular winter hat, then cutting newspaper to make a pattern, then trying to stitch a hat…it may drive me bananas.

A few sneak peeks, to not destroy the surprise for anyone who likes surprise.
