Pics of the clothes I made for Romi...should have done them the beginning of summer, not the end! Some will fit next year, some can be worn into the fall and a few things went into the 'wore once or twice and there it is' pile :) All were traced from rtw...I cut them out on a Friday and had them sewn and boxed up/sent out by that Tues. Love sewing little clothes! The white tops as you can see are store bought...ran out of time and wanted them to arrive before their El Salvador trip!
The legs on these french terry shorts curl in on themselves after the first wash or two:
E's 2pc suit didn't work out as planned...I cut the ruffles off of the bottoms and it's now wearable but still 'eh'. I'll try again next year, maybe spring. I did find a rashguard swim top on clearance for a few bucks at Gap and made some matching swim shorts...they're not a perfect color/fabric match but good enough for us :)

Thank you for your comment on Sewing Mamas. I simply wanted to check out your blog in your siggy.
You are awesome with knits. Do you have a coverstitch machine? If not, how do you do the hems?
Also, Romi...El Salvador? We're an adoptive family and I always wonder about other families, especially when I see someone creating on the behalf of someone far away.
You probably have written the story somewhere in your blog.
I didn't have time to look this am.
Sorry- I didn't see your comment right away :) No coverstitch machine- maybe someday! I love using the triple stitch zigzag on the machine...I have used a twin needle loosening the bobbin all the way with wooly nylon although I've still experienced popped seams that way (young kids stretching hemlines up over their heads with their elbows will do that!). Romi is my niece- her daddy is originally from El Salvador, my sis is from MN- they're all in DC now. Thanks so much!
Thanks. I've done a couple of things and the triple zigzag and I are getting along well.
I love all of your sewing. The ooga jumper is adorable! It's all great! =)
