I'm speaking of my new nephew! My brother and his wife in Saint Paul had their baby the other night, everything went well and I'm an aunt again! The boys are so excited to have a boy cousin, although they adore their other cousin Nora. I had to hurry and finish sewing the outfit I made for her, since she's a "big sister" now and deserves to be showered with some love now that she has to share mom & dad! It's a little sundress type thing with "bloomers", that's what I call them anyways! SO fun sewing for a little girl, I'm missing out on it! I hope they fit, it's pretty hard going off measurements over the phone without her little butt here to try it on. Maybe Grandma might have to alter it a bit? :) I can always count on my mom to fix my mistakes!
This is the pattern (#5416) if you are interested in it, it only took a day and was relatively easy & good for beginners.
Not much else going on except a lot of tomato sauce and crock pot cooking, nothing too exciting. Still hot, still humid!
Anyone else have "Mr. Funny Guy" partners? I sat down to the computer where THIS page was still open...um, yeah, look at the price...
Upon hearing my "pfffft" noise in the other room, hubby starts laughing and said "just kidding". Umm hmmmm.
Started a new project today... any guesses?
I won't be able to get to the sewing stage today, gotta run the boys to music lessons and then dinner, and then I'm usually done after that :)
Awww, congrats to your brother and family on their new little boy babe! And that outfit you made for the "big sis" is ADORABLE, bloomers and all! Hope you get a picture of her modeling it sent to you.
ReplyDeleteYour new sewing project looks like a little top with tucks in it, but beyond that I can't guess much. Love the red fabrics though!
Momma pea beat me to it- red polka dot-nothing excites me more , your little outfit looks adorable--oh,momma pea already said that, we are on the same page today,that doesn't happen often since she's way smarter than me-st.Paul-no kidding-my daughter lives in so. st. Paul. what I was also gonna say was that sewing job looks so professional. a few days with Erin and your sister-in -law has her BABY-WAS IT DUE ALREADY OR DID YOU WORK HER OUT ----JK CONGRADS TO BRO
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new family member. What a cute little outfit. I am sure she will love it. I have no guess, its all greek to me. I cant even remember if I have a sewing machine, do I?
ReplyDeletecongrats! and what a sweet little outfit...well done!!
ReplyDeleteYea!~ a boy cousin! That outfit is just adorable, Erin. She will love it. I have NO idea what your next project is. Other than a great color....
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new nephew. I thought I'd sew little dresses and stuff for my kids when they were small but between looking after two small kids and no sleep I only ended up sewing a few pairs of pajamas and one little dress. I figure if or when I have grand kids is when I'll have the time to sew those clothes that I didn't have time to do when mine were small.
ReplyDeleteI love the material for your next project but I've already read everyone's replies so won't guess at what it is.
You always find the cutest fabrics. No, darn-it--I am NOT going to learn to sew. No No NO.
ReplyDeleteBut wow. You've done great.
And congrats on having a new girl in the family to sew for!
I just had my head up my a.....
ReplyDeleteCOngrats on the BOY----and sorry it's NOT a girl To SEW FOR.
Sheesh.
It's been a long day!!!
Hey all, thanks for the congrats! I can't wait to meet the new little guy! You'll have to wait to find out what the new project is, you know, in case it turns out to be something completely different that what I'm attempting LOL!
ReplyDeleteJudy, LOL, I can see how you would wonder since I just posted on another pregnant sister in law, but NO, that one isn't due til November! That's hubby's sister who was just here last week. This baby is my brother's, and he was delivered right on the due date :)
Congratulations! A nephew, how exciting! Wow, your sewing skills are amazing! That dress is too cute! I laughed out loud at the tool kit on the computer screen. Men!
ReplyDeleteAwe! Congrats!!! Your outfit is adorable!! Please tell your bro/sil to share a photo of the great reveal! And I love your fabrics for the next one too! Little red outfits on the munchkins are always my fav! If I had a girl, she'd live in them :o)
ReplyDeleteNothing like a new baby, how exciting for all! The outfit is adorable.
ReplyDeleteYou made one sweet little outfit!! Great fabric choices!
ReplyDeleteNew Project: Apron? Really, I'm just guessing, and chose that because I WANT a homemade apron so much myself.
Can't wait to see what it turns out to be. :) Happy sewing!
Patty, I STILL haven't made an apron, and that's something I actually need LOL!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Aunt Erin. A sweet idea making something for big sister. Adorable outfit too!
