An Apron For BabyStitches

BabyStitches turned three in December!!  Boy, is she growing fast!!  In addition to her "Number 3" shirts, (which I'll hopefully get posted here one of these days!) I made her a little apron.  I was talking to SonStitches on the phone and asked what the little one might like for her birthday. He replied that she'd really like an apron to wear when she's helping them in the kitchen.

And here is the result.  

I used a wavy green print for one side of the apron.

The other side is a cute cat print.  

I think it's obvious which fabric BabyStitches likes best.

And when baking is over, another type of apron is needed!

The end result.

Sewing for Aurora's Birthday

With BabyStitches just having had her third birthday, I did some more sewing for her. I'll show you some of it here.

DaughterStitches requested some new pants for BabyStitches, as she has outgrown the ones I made her last year (in this post). BabyStitches is growing by leaps and bounds, especially in her height. So I made these pants in size 4.

For these two pair of pants, you can see that I just reversed the order of two different fabrics. The blue floral is my guild president's quilt fabric. (No, I haven't been working on it yet!) For one of the pairs I put a ruffle on the bottom and used the side pockets. For the other I used a cuff on the bottom instead of the ruffle, and put the pockets on the back.

Then I had the idea to make BabyStitches a t-shirt with her age on it. I know that I made a onesie with "I'm 1" on it for her first birthday, and an appliqued Washington state shirt last Christmas, but I'm not sure if I did a "2" shirt for her.

But here is the third-year shirt. All I did was make the largest "3" in the word font of my choice, then enlarged it even further on a copier. I fused the three onto the shirt and did a machine blanket stitch around the edges. And what better fabric to use than the same red as I used for her pants!
