sew. Turns out I WON!! I was so surprised to get the email in my inbox. I couldn't even remember making the comment. I must have figured I WOULD NEVER WIN :). But I did - I won one of five prizes. Mine was a $20 gift card to their online store. Man did I have fun shopping over there. I havn't bought really cool quilting cotton in a LONG time. The Katie Jump Rope line by Denyse Schmidt caught my eye and bought nine 3/8 yard cuts (on sale) and only paid for shipping. I am looking forward to making a quilt top with it. I have this whirlygig pattern in mind, we'll see what happens :).
This is something I've been working on. It only needs snaps (I've never done snaps before) and some finishing around the neck and sleeves. I may try some of my new FOE (fold over elastic) that I just got from Sewzannes :) That stuff is so cool. Not as easy to put on as I'd have liked but it is still cool. I may just add some ribbing - I'm good at that. I'm still wondering whether or not to put in the feet or leave the legs opened. hmmm. It is summer, but it cools down in the evenings and babies never leave their blankets on. . . I'll probably leave it open.

Cute!!! I love that it's long pants! I love the fabric. I would love to start sewing a lot! Where do you find the time with all you do??? Help me. . .
Cute! Those fabrics will make a lovely quilt. I can't wait to see the finished project. How fun to win it too...even better!
Snaps aren't that hard to do. Just make sure you pound really hard so they are set. :)
I have a snap hand plier thing and I love it. I have used it for years. I'm not sure how to use the thing you have in your pictures on snaps, I use it on eyelets though.
just stopping by to let you know that i mentioned your blog in a post the other day ...
