car seat cover and new clothes



Fynn has unlocked many keys to childhood for me~ one secret is that little ones love bright and pretty colors! and his love for whales has inspired Rowan's new carseat cover- "pretty" whales- meaning different colors of whales...

so here is the carseat cover i made for Rowan, with Fynn's influence- 2 blue buttons to fasten it- and i sewed a green leather cover to the handle...

i also made a pair of shorts for Fynn from the "pretty whales" (just in time for fall- ha!) i couldn't let him miss out on the whales...










Here are some clothes i've made for myself~ a brown T-shirt, a black T-shirt (i'm very excited about these- what a learning experience!)a green skirt from T-shirt fabric, and a brown linen skirt i made a few months ago.

i learned a lot about working with knit fabric while i was making the green skirt. i kept taking it apart until i got it right. and i also learned a lot while making little shirts & hats & altering onesies for Rowan- hopefully i will post these soon too. then i was able to make the T-shirts!- a miracle for me because it's so hard for me to find T-shirts i like!

i have also posted some pics of Rowan in his medieval shirt. In case you were wondering, it fits him perfectly! The socks keep falling off, and the hat was small enough for a doll...
