Daddy had to work this morning and I was wanting to do some sewing. So I gave the boys a craft to do. I gave them paper plates cut in half and cupcake liners glued in half. Then we cut strips of colorful scrap paper and bent them all up. I had them glue the scrap paper to the straight side (not the curve) of the plates and liners. They then glued on googly eyes and colored them with crayons. They made about 4 big and 6 little Jelly Fish!
During that time I was able to make two 4th of July tutus for my nieces. When daddy came home, he distracted them enough so I could make my first dress!!!! YAY@!! I've made plenty of skirts and pants but never a dress. The biasing(is that a word?)/neckline scared me. But I had a good guide. I followed the dress directions from the book Simple Sewing for Babies by Lotta Jansdotter. http://jansdotter.com/shop/item.php?serial=504
I really enjoy this book and can't wait to make more of the things in it.
Oh man I really wish I had my camera. Tomorrow we go to the Aquarium and I'm said to not have it. :(
Tonight I have some more books to read to the boys related to our theme. Our week has been all jumbled up. But I'm really excited to read Curious George goes to the Aquarium!!
Wish my luck on finding my charger so I can post more pictures!!! I know that's what everyone comes here to see. ;)
