Tuesday has been hilarious in the eating department lately. At least I find her very amusing. She can be very dramatic. Here she is waiting for dinner at my mom’s.
“Ohhh grandma are you fixing me dinner?”
“I can’t wait feed me now I might die!”
“Do not make fun of my hunger.”
Distracted. Thanks Uncle Brent!
Earlier today I remembered why we only eat at tables. Also I should have never started her on goldfish. I sign “fish” and “cracker” and she about has spasms of happiness.
I do realize this is not cinematic greatness. But I can guess at least one person will watch it a couple of times (hi mom!).

I have been attempting some garment sewing. I feel I must show it to you, lest you think I am so fantastic with much besides a straight line.
I severely overestimated the size of my daughter, and underestimated the size of the pattern (it’s vintage – who has time to figure those things out?). The jacket is the one from the vintage pattern I mentioned on this post.
Besides the size problem it isn’t turning out too terribly. I am learning a LOT making it.
I got this strange pucker at the side vents (I think that is what they are), turns out you can’t just sew around, you have to go up one side and up the other and hope they meet right. A little rip out and I fixed that. I still have to figure out hemming and stuff, there is some hand sewing to do. I did consider putting it on the back burner once I realized it really won’t fit until next spring. The back burner = land of the lost so I decided to just stick it out and finish it. But I had to mix it up with an instant gratification project:
Turning all these onsies into tee-shirts. Onsies are not so practical for a toddler. I think the quicker you can do a diaper change/pull down for bathroom at this age the better. Tuesday can flip from her back to her stomach in less than half a second easy. Sciarrino brought over her serger today so I could finish some of the edges that way. Some I’ll also fold up to make them look extra nice, and some I won’t do anything to and they’ll just roll. A few are getting an extra special treatment:
(that’s me realizing after the fact that I had no before picture, hahahaha).
Step 1: cut off bottom of bodysuit (I used a ruler and rotary cutter)
Step 2: sew edge with a zig zag stitch (make both settings about as small as they will go – experiment on the bottom half that you are going to toss) and use exact matching thread. As you sew right on the edge you pull both in front of and behind the needle stretching the fabric.
Ta da! Super cute ruffle shirt!
Extra awesome is that it was a hand me down to us and had a little stain on the bottom part so it’s even better now. I read about this “lettuce hem” in Ready Made magazine, I think I might have to lettuce hem all my tank tops I love it!
p.s. total side question: the vertical pics do you like them smaller or big (like on top), I’ve been wondering this for a while. -
Wow, thank you so much for the quilt love! Something tells me I wouldn't get the same response for a black and orange quilt, but I won't take that personally 🙂 I'm sewing up something else now, but it's for a moving human being and it turns out that is much MUCH harder for me, especially when using a vintage pattern. I do love a challenge. That moving human by the way had her first blue berries today:
I found them in the bottom of the freezer drawer and gave them to her partially frozen still. She was a fan. She was NOT a fan of getting that cleaned off her face and I think I permanently stained her (only) bowl. Oops.
Today while walking around looking adorable:
(finally fit these slippers that came with a 0-3 sized outfit) I realized that she is really getting curly hair.
Right now it is exactly the same color as mine, but that is where the similarities end. My hair is so stick straight. I'm at peace with it now, but I always wanted curly hair when I was younger (and during those perms in college). My mother appeased me by curling it before bedtime with pins, rags or rollers. I don't know if this is here to stay, but for right now I think Tuesday should consider herself a very lucky girl!
