For a friend's neice
And then for K. Although there was no complicated sewing involved, it took a good chunk of time for me because of all the measuring and cutting from following a pattern. Ugh, I destest measuring and cutting! Which is why I'll probably never be a great sewer (or baker). I have an aversion toward nit picky details (a lawyer's bread and butter, no less!) and following instructions to the letter. Which is why I have a stack of patterns for children's clothing on my desk that I look at with much longing but zero motivation to attempt. Do these pictures not make you melt into a pool of cuteness overload...
The japanese children's clothing books come complete with patterns but alas, no english instructions!! So will be playing it by ear. All purchased via http://www.amazon.co.jp/In-English/b?ie=UTF8&node=1094656.
