The Night before...

Homemade Jumper, click to see glitter detailing.

This weekend has been a busy one. I wrapped up the fleece Barbie Blanket (no photo yet as Jessica whisked it off to her bed yesterday). That was the fabric destined for the nap mat we didn't need. I also cut and sewed the Second and Final Jumper. Jessica seems to be much happier with this one. I finished it during her nap and hung it up to await her awakening. Of course when she first saw it she was certain it needed pockets. Perhaps she's right but I don't know how to put them on in such a way that they look like they are there "on purpose", the gathered skirt gets in the way. So instead I dug out my pee wee fabric glitter and did just a little detailing on the butterflies. Well that had Jessica dancing with the hanger. She has already picked out the shirt she will wear with it tomorrow for the first day of school.

I like the colors in this fabric. They translated better from online into reality than I would have hoped. The colors are nice ranging from peach, pink, blue, yellow, and green. I think Jessica will always be able to find a shirt to match.

Great dress. Fleece sewing is for the birds, when I make fleece blankets, I try to make one side regular fabric and the other fleece so if I plan carefully I have the fabic against the feed dogs and keep the stretching down to a minimum.
