Back before Christmas, when I was really on a shirt dress roll, I got this great idea to make dresses for our friends Claire and Adelie (who we were conveniently going to visit right after Christmas). After all, I’d made more than enough for my girls. How handy to have another pair of sisters to sew for, right? And I got started, but third trimester stalled things. So this week, I realized that maybe this baby was just waiting for me to finish my sewing projects, and I pulled the sewing machine back out. The Haney girls are built more like Susie, so her pocket dress was an important experiment in slimming down my pattern. I finished just at dusk, in time to snap a picture before mailing out a very belated Christmas package tomorrow morning. I’m out of sewing projects…surely a sign that this baby should make his or her appearance, right?
