Sewing and Crocheting


Baby patterns B and C. Adult pattern B.

DMC's smock and pants

DD2's smock

Sweater front

Sweater back
The patterns are actually easy. When I washed the fabric with the ends sewn, it raveled enough that I needed to flat feld and otherwise sew the seams such that the edges were bound. So it took 3 times the effort to put these together. But using cotton was worth it. Then I fancied up everything with the seam binding. So all in all, it took about 3-4 times the sewing that it would have if I'd just followed the directions.

  • The outfits are adorable! DD and DMC are gonna love them.

    And I love the sweater! I don't remember now, which pattern was that? Once you got the hang of post stitches, you really went to town
