I've never officially participated in KCW before. Just sort of happened to make something that week and decided to count it. This time I'm going in with a plan.
Mack doesn't need clothes. Seriously, between what I've made for him and all the hand-me-downs from my cousin Dennis, he has more clothes than I do. And the unfinished plaid shirt from the plaid week of Project Run & Play is still too fresh for me to be ready to tackle again.
Which leaves me with a big, "Who to sew for?"
And the answer, MY NIECES! I have four nieces planning to make appearances in December (don't even get me started on how weird it is that me, my best friend, and two of my sisters-in-law are all due within 2 weeks!) who are going to need something cute from me. So I'm planning to get the bulk of my baby gift sewing done.
For Piper:
- Olivia and Oliver Pea Coat
- Infant Peasant Dress (This little beauty is already cut out, and I already spent time on an embroidery detail, but has yet to be sewn)
For Georgianna:
- Infant Peasant Dress
- {tiny} tumble tee
For Lily & Emma:
- Sally Dresses
I'm planning to tackle the projects in that order, but I'm really hoping to get down to those Sally Dresses. The pattern is darling, and I was lucky enough to win a copy!
If by some miracle I get all 6 of those projects done, I'll make a little something for my own new baby, who has all of Mack's hand-me-downs, but is in need of jackets. There's a bit of a wardrobe difference between a December baby and a June baby.
Now to get going on cutting out those patterns!
wow... your little one is almost here! So exciting! I don't make palns for KCW either... maybe I should! =D but G. has got soooooooo many clothes already too.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I actually might get some sewing done after making this plan. That and the fact that Nathan will be working late every night this week. :) No husband definitely means more time to sew!
