Another Slice of Life

Just kidding Mom, I'm certainly not going into business anytime soon!  With a full time job and a new baby on the way, I am sure I will barely have time to think in the months to come.

I recently decided it was about time to learn to sew given that I'm the daughter of an amazing seamstress {check out the real A Slice of Life website here}.  I may never have her skills, but it has been fun to try!  Therefore, I signed up for a beginner sewing class at The Smockingbird and learned how to make two basic baby outfits.

These were my first two outfits made during the class.  The first dress was made for our neice Lillie and the bubble is for Baby Moss.



I decided our other young neices needed fun outfits for Christmas too, so I made this little dress for our niece Mary Walker...



...and this bubble for our neice Alex.  I love the pink gingham buttons on this outfit!


My favorite part may have been choosing the fabrics for the dresses and bubbles, and I think this excitement over fabric and buttons may keep me going back for more!

Mom also picked up this leaf scarf pattern at the knit shop around the corner, and with Mom's help, I finally finished!  Just in time for all this winter weather...



If you are interested in knitting one too, the pattern is free on the Spud and Chloe website here.
