Alien-Print Pants Completed
This is the same pattern as the previous brown pants, Simplicity 3765. I made them a little shorter this time, and raised the pockets up a little higher. I’ll find out tomorrow if they fit David better.

Another Pair of Pants
I really like how the brown pants turned out, so I decided to use the alien-print fabric to make another pair.
I wanted the first pair to be heavy fabric (bottom weight twill), to protect baby knees while crawling over hardwood floors. But David is on the verge of walking, and it is almost spring, so [...]
Baby Blanket
Finally. I’ve had this cut out for ages, and I got a chance to sew it on Thursday night. The chenille and flannel are super soft, especially after being washed. It’s a little annoying to sew the two together – they both have a little stretch to them. It all worked [...]
