Random S&S, i.e. playing catch up! - added model pic

I have been sewing. Not much, but a bit here and there. I had to move my sewing room up to my ILs apartment (we share a 3 family) so that Leah could move out of my bedroom and in to her own. Since we have just 3 bedrooms, my machines got kicked out! LOL. The up side is that I have to keep the area relatively organized. Anyway, some of these are older that I never got around to showing, and some are new.

First up, two pairs of Munki Munki nursing PJs that I made for a friend. She's doing some web work for me, so I made these for her. The recess print is not my fave, but the cotton/lycra was really nice to sew. After all the pieces were cut, she noticed a dye splotch on the piece for the underlayer. So she opted to swap that out for white. I would have left it, but whatever. KSES for both with the top modified for nursing.

The Munki french girls I did a while back but the lime FOE I had used for the neck was coming unravelled so I had it in for repair. Replaced that with white rib knit for binding. KSES again with lettuce edge hems

Next up is a dress up skirt for a long over due trade. The recipient already has enough clothes so I was at a loss to come up with an idea. Skirt is pink and white tulle with a satin blanket binding casing. The flowers/ribbons are equidistant, I just hung it poorly.

More in next

Then we have a shirt for Owen who had a growth spurt and is now wearing 4T He's so big! This is KSFT raglan top with hemp jersey sleeves and stripe jersey body. I really like how this looks on him. He said "For me!?!? I love stripes!".

Finally is a little lined sweater for Leah. I used the KSFT raglan with PRR sweater knit I got ages ago and lined with baby hearts interlock that Timmi sent me a long time ago now. It's a bit long since I forgot to compensate for no hem when I made it lined, but it should work. Pink snaps and a nicely off center size tag, lol. Thanks for looking!

Recess wasn't my favorite either but the C/L is awesome.

Leah & Owen both look so big!

The stripe shirt is great, and I love the sweet little sweater.

I don't think it's too long at all, especially with the sleeves that roll - she can get use out of for more than one season. I love those pants she's wearing!

that sweater is just so much sweater on her. I think it is perfect and will still be perfect in the fall when the sleevs are unrolled. Those little rosey cheeks make me melt.
