It's a Jumpsuit...here's why I worry!


A pattern from my stash, adult size U.S. XS-XL. Here's why I worry. This one's for my oldest granddaughter. She's 5'3" and 15 years old (or is it 16). This fleecy wonder is the fabric that Jaden picked a season or two ago; that means I'm a year behind.  In keeping with fleecy robes for my granddaughters, I decided it was time before this girlie, my Jaden, got to old to appreciate what she had selected back when. I went with Size M; I had her measurements for length of the inseam, as well as sleeves. I made adjustments before I started cutting, and cut I did.  hmmmm.....what happened here?!! Those of you who sew know can see this is probably fixable. I am a little concerned about how low the crotch may be. Thus, my work in progress is on the table, due for Christmas. All she asked for were gift cards for spending, but, oh no, grandma wanted her to have this also.

About that fleece sale...Bathrobes for the Girlies


Every year after Thanksgiving, Joann's Fabrics has a huge sale, especially fleece fabric. This is the first time I've taken advantage and I decided to make warm, fuzzy bathrobes for Chloe and Natalie to take to them in Idaho. Chloe is very much into Harry Potter. I called and let her mom know that the Harry Potter print available was kind of bold and a bit masculine, but she assured me that the girl loves H.P. and the color red.  As for Natalie, she loves rainbows and unicorns and bright cheerful colors; voila! All done and ready to pack in my suitcase to take on our visit. This grandma won't go empty-handed.
