Simplicity 2443

First you need to know that I.heart.Cynthia.Rowley.

Next you need to know that I can never never never never never afford her stuff.

Thankfully, Simplicity is trying to help.

I bought this pattern because I loved the jacket. But…

Simplicity patterns fit me crummily (is that a word?).

So, I decided to make the vest first, sort of like a muslin.

But…it fit so well and looked so cute that I finished the details and miles and miles and miles of topstitching and…

wore it on the first day of school!

My review on PR is here.

First Day of Kindergarten

 

The smiles were forced first thing in the morning, but he had a great day!

‘twas the day before Kindergarten

And Grandpa came to visit!

Since his big sister was in school, the Little Man and his Grandpa had some great quality time.

Today’s hobby: Leatherworking

I wish I had a finished project to show, but I think they only '’practiced” today!
