Smocket Real Good


Smocket real good.

I sewed a Smocket for Spenser. I had been wanting to make her one, but was waiting for the "perfect" fabric. You know how it is. I decided the perfect fabric was this sheet.

I made the reverse side in white cotton with a pocket to match the front. I had to use Velcro at the top instead of tying at the shoulders (because I forgot to add seam allowance), which is fine. It makes it easier for Spenser to remove it. A million and one times. Don't get me wrong. She loves to wear it. It's just more fun to take it off.

And this lovely parcel came from Karyn. Remember when I was sad (complaining?) that I didn't have enough of the blue dotted fabric for the boys' Easter tie and the baby's Easter outfit? Well, look what came in the mail yesterday. Some more of that lovely Dotty Dot fabric. (She's the one who originally sent me the first bit.) What a friend! Thank you, Karyn. But, next time could you send it overnight so I can make the ties? (just kidding)

for any of you who do not know this woman personally, let me tell you something. She is amazing!! she watched my 3 year old along with her Sawyer, Spencer, Mason and then my 5 year old came home from school with her Jack, Carter and Taylor. Yes that makes 8 kids! She had my kids for about 3 hours. When i picked up my kids, her house was clean, dinner was started and everyone was hanging out together. Laura is such a wonderful friend and mother. Thank you so much for all that you do!!! I am so thankful to have you as my "best" friend!!
