It's funny what constitutes a productive day around here. Something crossed off my to-do list. A small corner of the house cleaned up and organized. A sewing project finished. I've actually had a couple productive days around here lately.
And while getting car in to be serviced this morning (oil change, sunroof and wiper blade recall) let me check something off my to-do list, I was even more excited to finish my first sewing project for Christmas. Yes, 10 days before Christmas and I am just starting those sewing projects. But that's how it works around here. And they are all relatively small projects. And none of them are necessary - except for the giant sheep cushion which I will start tonight.
Back for Ollie's birthday, I started a pair of sheep pajamas. They weren't finished in time. The bottoms were ready so I paired them with an appliqued T and he was happy. He has been waiting, though, for the complete set. I finally made the top. Now I just need to sneak the bottoms out of his closet (they have jumped into his regular pants rotation) and wrap them up for Christmas Eve. Check Handmade Gift #1 off my list.
** I actually made the top and bottom from two different Oliver + S Patterns. The bottoms are from the older Bedtime Story Pajamas pattern and the top is from the newer Sleepover Pajamas pattern. Love them both - and still learn something new everytime I sew with one. Understitching? Who new?!
