A while back I shopped the thrift store… back in February. They were having a $7 a bag shopping day.
A large paper sack and all the clothes you could fit for just $7! I rolled every piece I had chosen into a very small roll. I packed that bag to TOP!
I mainly focused on Flannel and Wool.
I am making it a practice to repurpose these items and give them NEW LIFE!
The shades of blue polka-dot flannel night shirt… caught my eye this weekend while I was cleaning up in my craft room.
I just had to make some jammas from my littlest grand-son Vincy – he’ll be turning 1 year old on Thursday this week. :)
I had made a pattern for jammas earlier in the week—out of a pair of his britches—and another shirt. You can see I made my pattern out of newspaper …seen in the upper left corner of both these pictures.
I got busy and cut them out…
only I didn’t have enough scraps for the sleeves! You can also see that I did NOT take pictures of the lay-out and I created the legs of the pants in two parts. I made the upper seat and leg; and the upper front and leg.
I am going to be creative here and stitch some thermal type cloth for the sleeves and for the pants. I think it will add to the boyish look I’m going for—I hope it turns out really cute!
I told you all the outside things I wanted to get done this weekend…
That didn’t happen. :/ It’s true! I get easily distracted from my duties! However, the weekend wasn’t a total loss; T.H. and I got busy working on some inside things that really needed our attention and we just can’t seem to get it done when the Littles are here during the week.
I’ll be back later on this week to show you the finished jammas and some other things we did!
It seems like some weekends it’s hard to know where to start around here! Especially if we’re here alone. No kiddos, none of their kiddos…the littles. ;) No big plans. I mean, I have an idea of things I want to do—but, really, I just don’t know until I get up and start doing. Does that happen with you? Do you make plans to work on this, that or the other? Or do you just jump in and do something?
All I know is
I am tuckered out and that’s a good sign. I’ve been busy. It feels good to be busy.
Til next time, Be Blessed!
