lace trim shorts
Last night I made another pair of Puppet Show Shorts for Ruby - it is such a great little pattern! I re-purposed another pair of dad's old work slacks and added some pretty lace trim to the pockets. I also used a pretty aqua thread, which is hard to see in the photo, but looks really cute in person.
Last week at my sewing studio class, a woman showed up with two carloads of sewing supplies to donate ... fabric, trims, elastics, faux furs, even a dress form! I really had to restrain my supply hoarding tendencies, but did walk away with yards of this cute trim, 3 inch elastic, and a big piece of lace fabric that I'm really excited about. Do you have trouble turning away free supplies? My fabric drawers are so overstocked that they hardly close, but I just can't help myself.
In other news ... can you believe that baby Cora is 6 months old today? She is such a little doll. The days are long with three little kids, but time really is going fast. I'm a lucky mama!
