Wow! How has it been a year??? A summer of fun in the sun, followed by months of fun in the rain and snow, and here we all are, during the crazy time that is 2020.<br />
<br />
Once upon a time, back in November, <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/designers/erica-sufka" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;"><b>Erica Sufka</b></span></a> offered a test knit for her pattern, <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/winter-blooms-mini" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: purple;">Winter Blooms</span> Mini</b></a>, and I signed right up, knowing I had other things to knit and sew, aha!!! But it worked out, as it's one of my daughter's favorite sweaters! Camden loves her cabled sweater, and honestly, the pattern was a relatively quick knit, whipped up in <a href="https://www.hazelknits.com/lively-dk-3/?sort=featured&page=2" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;"><b>Hazel Knits Lively DK</b></span></a> in the colorway <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/stash/search#colorway-link=blueberry&photo=yes&yarn-link=hazel-knits-lively-dk" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: purple;">Blueberry</span></b></a>. You can likely see the line where I changed colors, as I apparently chose NOT to alternate. I have no idea how I fell into doing that, as it was back in November of 2019. At the time, Camden was 9.75 years old, and I knit the size 8, as I figured the chest size would better suit her, and it did!<br />

<br />
Fast forward to last month, when Erica announced she was starting a test knit for <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sage-blooms-cardi" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;"><b>Sage Blooms</b></span></a>, a cardigan version of the same cable pattern - yay!!! Again, I knew I should be doing other things, but it was so pretty, and Camden was totally in the market for a new cardigan, for real!! In this case, the pattern runs down the back, and it has a nice band around the sweater, no buttons added! The version I knit up is a bit on the long side, aha; I'd temporarily forgotten Camden is somewhat short, and it's one of those cables where you have two different stopping point choices. I went with the full chart repeat, rather than halfway down, when I should have done the reverse. Because of this, I ended up knitting the sleeves long. But... I sadly thought I'd knit the armscye long enough, and I didn't. For this reason, the sweater might not fit as long as I'd like it to fit her.<br />

Sad days.<br />
<br />
But! On a happy note, Camden picked the colorway, <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/stash/search#colorway-link=glacier&photo=yes&yarn-link=quince--co-osprey" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: purple;">Glacier</span></b></a>, on <a href="https://quinceandco.com/collections/yarns/products/osprey-yarn-wool" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;"><b>Quince and Co. Osprey</b></span></a>. I purchased the yarn from <a href="https://twistedyarnshop.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;"><b>Twisted</b></span></a>, a local yarn store I am sad to see closing (though I think they will continue the on-line shop). I'm not a pale blue kind of lady, but it's her thing, and it's so lovely! I loved the yarn a lot, but something to keep in mind with this aran-weight yarn is that it's a dense aran weight, so, at the gauge, it bothered my hands on the needles I needed to use. I love the fabric, but whew.... my wrist and hand hurts, thinking about it, aha!<br />

Legit - you need BOTH patterns!!! Why??? You need them because you get to work with two different yarn weights and enjoy the pattern twice!!! Erica includes number counts, which I always love, and the chart is an easy one!! And I promise that if you have a kid/grandchild in your life, along with too much yarn in your stash, then these are the patterns for you!<br />

My second quilt is officially a gift. I surprised her with it yesterday, and I'm so glad she loves it! I don't recall if blood, sweat and tears were involved in the making of it, but wasted fabric, rust stains and cussing were!<br />

I figured it would at least be easy enough to use the Audrey Hepburn panels she had given me - turn them into a basic rectangles quilt. I sashed each panel, having to rip out when I misplaced the wider vs. the narrower strips of white, and then I had to figure out where I wanted the mini panels to go, and I went with the sides of the quilt so that I wouldn't end up with a crazy long and narrow quilt. In doing that, I also had to rip out and then buy more white fabric, but the math wasn't too awful, aha.<br />

The only other near-fatal accidents with this quilt involved not making the backing quite enough. It was wider than the top by about 6 inches, but it BARELY met the length of the top, and that was a bit scary, as I kept moving the top around to match the backing underneath the batting, not wanting to warp the top, clearly, but wanting to stretch it as far as I could. <br />

Lastly, when I ironing, I knew I was temping the fates because when there is water/steam involved with an iron, it sometimes lays down a rust mark, but I REALLY wanted to get out the pink pen marks (by the way, I love that pink pen, but it's a wash-out, not an iron-out; use <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pilot-Erasable-Mistakes-Disappear-Americas/dp/B004DOMK2U/ref=sr_1_8?crid=2E6DVWS0CISKQ&keywords=frixion+erasable+pens&qid=1561560504&s=gateway&sprefix=frixion%2Caps%2C227&sr=8-8" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Frixion</b></span></a> pens in your quilting!!) without washing it. Anyway.... you see where this is headed. I lost my ever-loving mind and threw that quilt in the washer, knowing that the open seam where I had sewn the binding on would likely fray quite a bit in the wash.... and it DID. After washing and drying, I then had to go back and re-sew some of the binding where it had frayed too close to the seam line. That wasn't awesome, to be honest.<br />

Anyway, it took a few days to hand-sew the other side of the binding down, as life is crazy right now with tons of driving to and fro, but the quilt overall is done and awesome and it is loved. I so love surprising people!!!!<br />

And so.... days in the life of!<br />

I had originally purchased the lovely <a href="https://www.joann.com/premium-cotton-fabric--light-purple-maeve-bird-damask/16306458.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: orange;">purple bird fabric</span></b></a> from <a href="https://www.joann.com/premium-cotton-fabric--light-purple-maeve-bird-damask/16306458.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Joann Fabrics</b></span></a> (you have heard me say it a million times - I just do not generally like the fabric quality they carry, but this quilting cotton felt like a great quilting cotton, and while I wouldn't always recommend quilting cotton for this type of dress, it works well and is a dress for a kid, so, not a big deal to me) and had planned to whip up the circle skirt version. THEN, while at <a href="https://moderndomesticpdx.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Modern Domestic</b></span></a> one day, I saw the gorgeous black flowered print on a tube and had to have it. It wasn't expensive, and it was wide fabric, so, I didn't need much.</div>

After both fabrics were washed, dried and ironed, I realized that the bird fabric wasn't wide enough for a circle skirt, and I was then tragically worried I didn't buy enough black fabric to make a circle skirt in lieu of that.... This story ends well, though - yay! I had enough black fabric, and I just turned that into the circle skirt version - and the birds into the gathered skirt. (The best part, though, is that Joann Fabrics carries two versions of the birds, and I had actually purchased both and meant to use the other purple shade, LOL! So, I will use that for next year's version, maybe!)</div>

The dress is crazy easy to put together for such a cute little number. I will say, though, that I MUCH PREFER circle skirts over gathered skirts, especially when the gathers are made on a quilting cotton. It just creates too much bulk. As for the circle version, I did lengthen it to what would be a size 9, and the circle skirt I also lengthened, though apparently not as long, and it's a full 1.25 inches shorter, I think. I'm a bit bummed about that, as it's obviously short and would be better if it was longer. Either way, both are crazy cute, and I just love them THIS much.</div>

The only outright change I made was in under-stitching around the top of the bodice, rather than either doing nothing or edge-stitching. I prefer a clean finish but also wanted that lining to stay in place. And not a huge deal, but to me, this is important: when straps are involved, I usually try to remember, after the whole thing is sewn, but is still inside-out, to stitch across the straps again in the seam allowance, for extra strength (as the original basting stitch is sometimes cut off).</div>

On another note, I didn't go by measurements for the pattern. With other patterns, I usually look at measurements and sew either her size or a size up. I sewed a size 8 in this case, and it is SO gappy in the bodice. For the second version, the purple dress, I sewed a size 7, and it looks much nicer. No big deal, I figure, as she'll easily wear it next summer, too, and we'll just use a camisole under it for now.</div>

Anyway, great dress, and everyone is correct when they say you DO need to make this! Don't wait!</div>

So. You WILL notice the CRAAAAZY fabric combinations on these bags, aha. That is not lost on me. I seriously just whipped out of Camden's fabric cupboard anything that made a little bit of sense. Because this was the first time I made the pattern, I saw these as test runs, and I planned on sending them to my nieces and nephew. I so hope they love them!<br />

The pattern is super easy to understand, though I do think the fabric amounts need to be better specified for the ears (bunny vs. cat). She mentions in the pattern that an 18-inch zipper is a better choice than a 16-inch, and she is right. The 16-inch zipper worked, but I'm glad I only had to use one of them, aha. I did use fusible fleece batting (or whatever it's called, LOL), rather than regular batting, and that worked great.<br />

As for the face embroidery, I just used DMC floss, and I went to town.... I am no expert, as you can tell, and I didn't pop/hide my knots. She doesn't specify how she does it, and I am that wacko person who makes giant knots JUST IN CASE, so, they aren't popable, LOL. Also, I have a couple books, but I was closer to my computer and reminded myself on how to do a couple stitches, like the back-stitch and satin stitch. I'm pretty sure I failed on both accounts, but they results are still decent enough. I felt bad leaving knots inside the bag, but I did try to leave the black knots on darker sections of fabric, where they wouldn't show as much. I do need to work on perfecting the embroidery, for sure.<br />

I realize I kick it WAY old school with Camden's outfit choices.... patterns that came out years ago that I sew up over and over. But a cute, classy look??? I can't help myself! I'd like to move Camden up into a classy, trendy look, but those patterns don't quite exist - at least, not the things I see in my head, LOL.<br />

Why have I waited SO LONG?? Camden was clearly SO SMALL, LOL. But I was somehow confused by the direction of the button loop and remember thinking I put it on wrong. Also, looking back at the photos, I'm all, WHY did I contrasting thread on that skirt?! And why did I use contrasting bias tape on that shirt??? The little things, LOL. I was pleased with my wee bit of embroidery and hand-stitching, though - and still am. </div>

Overall, though, I don't like that blouse, so, when I made it this time, I knew I wanted to use the <a href="https://oliverands.com/shop/digital-music-class-blouse-skirt-sewing-pattern.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;"><b>Music Class Blouse</b></span></a>, which is my favorite blouse pattern!!

Both patterns sewed up easily, and I made sure all was well with the button loop, and I made sure to add two wee snaps in the placket. This outfit was meant to be one of Camden's birthday outfits, and she wore it to school last week. I also managed to grab the photos quickly before heading off to school that morning, aha! It also happily looks super cute with her <a href="https://cottingtonssocrafty.blogspot.com/2018/09/a-rose-is-rose-is-mini-rock-rose.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: cyan;">Mini Rock Rose</span></b></a> sweater - yay!</div>

I am pretty bummed I waited so long to sew this skirt up again. I need to quickly whip out at least one more before she is really out of the size 8. Before that, though, there are so many other things to sew!</div>

This is a new favorite for Camden - the <a href="https://kitschy-coo.co.uk/collections/sewing-patterns/products/little-girls-skater-dress-sewing-pattern-18m-2t-3t-4t-5y-6y-7y-8y-pdf" target="_blank"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Little Girl's Skater Dress</b></span></a> by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kitschycoo/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Kitschy Coo</b></span></a>. She so far has two, and I have plans to make ONE more for the season! This is the third knit dress pattern I have tried in the past six months. The first was the <a href="https://cottingtonssocrafty.blogspot.com/2018/10/uptown-downtown-pumpkin-patch-or-back.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Sew Straight Patterns Uptown/Downtown dress</b></span></a>, and I love that one, then I sewed the VFT Kensley, which I wasn't a fan of - maybe because of the gathered skirt??? Anyway, I love the Skater!<br />

I used a recent-ish purchase from <a href="https://www.joann.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Joann Fabrics</b></span></a> - another Doodles Line knit. It isn't my favorite knit to work with, and you DO need to wash and dry it a good three times, but it works, and Camden clearly loves it. She wore it today for her birthday party, too! The other version was a good use of stash - albeit a nerve-wracking one! I totally checked to make sure I wasn't playing fabric chicken, but that turned out to be a lie. There was definitely a flattening-out and an ironing of the rolled edge to eek out enough room for the front bodice piece, but I made it! It makes me happy to use this remnant, too, because I first used it in a Modkid Penny dress for Camden years ago (and which I can't find a photo of).<br />

I don't have anything earth-shattering to say about the pattern, except that I printed out the pdf and traced the pieces onto my usual Swedish tracing paper.... in the largest size, which almost seems silly. I'm crazy bummed that this pattern doesn't go up to at least a size 10. I'll have to see if I feel bold enough next year to try and grade it up. The <a href="https://kitschy-coo.co.uk/products/the-lady-skater-sewing-pattern-for-teens-and-women-pdf" target="_blank"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Lady Skater</b></span></a> seems to skip a few sizes, so, I don't think I could make her the smallest version of that, sadly.<br />

Anyway, I did lengthen this pattern - only the skirt portion and only by an inch, but it's a great fit for now. The directions may or may not be great, LOL. I'll assume they are fine, but it's a straight-forward pattern, so, I didn't use them, and I did make the cuff at the sleeves a bit wider, as I like that look better - and thought I'd prefer sewing it on if it was bigger, LOL.<br />

A cute, simple pattern - and I did short sleeves on both, but I could totally make a version this fall, before she's too big for the pattern, hopefully, with long sleeves.<br />

Yes, it is, as the <a href="https://www.camillavad.dk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>designer</b></span></a> then came out with a children's version, the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/magnolia-mini" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Magnolia Mini</b></span></a> which is clearly much faster to knit, aha! Since then, she has also designed a hat for this pattern, and she will be coming out with a chunky version of the sweater, which is great for fast knits. </div>

I really wanted to use HER yarn, as you could tell, in photos alone, that it was a great pairing, but she isn't state-side, and I didn't need to spend a lot of money. I purchased <a href="https://quinceandco.com/blogs/news/new-chickadee-organic-heathers" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Quince and Co Organic Chickadee Heathers</b></span></a> some months ago from <a href="https://twistedyarnshop.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Twisted</b></span></a>, which is a great shop in Portland! I love that Camden now has a classy gray sweater (<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/stash/search#colorway-link=gullkumliens&photo=yes&yarn-link=quince--co-chickadee-organic-heathers" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Kumlien's Gull</b></span></a> colorway), so to speak. I don't do neutrals too much, so, it was fun to make this!</div>

As for the pattern, it was super easy. I had a one foolish moment, OF COURSE, where I lost my ability to read, and there is one error in the pattern, which I messaged the designer about, but it's a typo sort of thing you know must be wrong. It did take me five hundred years to work through all that stockinette before the bottom of the sweater, which is great for easy knitting, and I felt I moved quickly through the patterned section. I was pushing it on needle size/gauge. Chickadee isn't a superwash yarn, which is great, but I maybe should have sized down needles. I was pretty spot-on, pre-blocking, and I haven't measured gauge since, but I had also knit a size larger than what she needs, so, it should fit a while. <br />

<br />
Also, I sized down one needle size for the bottom and sleeve cuff ribbing, which the pattern doesn't call for, but I couldn't help myself. I do see how NOT going down a needle size is beneficial for this pattern, but I am ridiculous, aha. And while the pattern does include directions for long sleeves, and those would have been pretty, when I had purchased the yarn, I was trying to save money and not buy another skein of yarn, so, I knew I'd do shorter sleeves. I could have pushed it to see if 3/4 length sleeves would have worked, but I felt lazy.<br />

For such a lovely sweater, I took so long to write the blog post that the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/petite-polished" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;"><b>Petite Polished</b></span></a> shows wear. I would say it honestly started pilling pretty soon after finishing it, too. I wanted to hold out on allowing Camden to wear this design by <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/people/AliciaPlum" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: cyan;">Alicia Plummer</span></b></a>, but since I finished it in October and she needed a pull-over, well, that was that. Originally, I'd wanted to sew her new jeans first for a nice photo combo, but I have yet to get around to sewing those. Maybe next week, aha.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There was some silliness in knitting this pattern, though the pattern itself was lovely. Because of my gauge, I added extra yoke rounds, but in doing THAT, I also added extra increases, which wasn't great for the sleeves, and when I started the first sleeve, I realized my mistake and had to rip back and decrease differently. I wasn't sure that it'd work, considering I couldn't just get rid of the original sleeve stitch count, but it ended up being okay. I alternated skeins, and while the gauge called for is looser than I like to knit a DK weight yarn, it does look nice. In saying that, I wonder if it'd be AS pilled as it is if I knit at a tighter gauge. I knit with <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/tanis-fiber-arts-purewash-dk" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;"><b>Tanis Fiber Arts PureWash DK</b></span></a> in the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/cottington/petite-polished" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;"><b>Luna Gray</b></span></a> colorway. I was glad for Camden to have a somewhat neutral-toned sweater, which it is, but she really still needs another pull-over - and a cardigan, while we're at it. I had been desperate to try the <a href="https://www.tanisfiberarts.com/yarn/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: cyan;">PureWash</span></b></a> base for some time (because of its more eco-friendly "super-washing" process, and it is nice to knit with, but I'm not sure I'll knit with it again, unless I do try some time, at a tighter gauge. Overall, the sweater is quite lovely, and Camden loves to wear it!</div>

As for Camden's hat, this is another moment where I feel cool that I knit with deep stash yarn!!! The yarn was purchased way back in 2012, and I had paid an Etsy seller to knit a sweater for Camden, because I didn't trust my abilities or something and figured another person would knit it faster, LOL. Anyway, the remnants have been in my stash every since, some lovely <a href="https://madelinetosh.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;"><b>Madelinetosh</b></span></a> colorway - I think it was <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/stash/search#colorway-link=deeplymadlytruly&photo=yes&yarn-link=madelinetosh-tosh-dk" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;"><b>Truly, Madly, Deeply</b></span></a>.</div>

<a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/looking-ahead" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;"><b>Looking Ahead</b></span></a>, designed by <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/designers/veera-valimaki" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;"><b>Veera Valimaki</b></span></a>, is a simple-enough pattern, thought I botched up the decreases a bit; it was hard to know how to stay in pattern, or I'd get off track. Either way, it is cute, and I also had a feeling it'd be super cute with a faux fur pom pom, and I was RIGHT! I am so glad I ordered from <a href="https://threadheadknits.com/collections/poms" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;"><b>Thread Head Knits</b></span></a>. She has tons of choices, and I bought my poms as a bulk order, but keep in mind that some colors can't be ordered in bulk buys. I was winging it on color choices, but I figured something I ordered would work, and the light pink is so pretty with the hat.</div>

I am pretty happy that I have been working through stash yarns - for the kids or for others. I am knitting two wee sweaters for twins right now - one down, one to go! And I have recently knit another pair of mittens each for the kids, both from scrap yarns.</div>

Of course, he cares NOT at all, aha, but I feel bad, of course. Lately, he has been wearing his sister's old sweaters, which works out nicely, but I knew he was going to be too large for at least <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/cottington/owlet-2" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: magenta;">one</span></b></a> of them, and one <a href="https://cottingtonssocrafty.blogspot.com/2015/11/an-abate-gotta-stay-warm.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>pullover</b></span></a> left simply can't be enough!!!

The pattern is crazy easy, naturally, though the wording for the short rows is a bit weird, or maybe my stitch marker placement was off to begin with, which doesn't make sense. Either way, I knit the sweater alllll the way through binding off, then I realized my short rows were off - to the side of the back. No bueno, clearly, so, I had to rip out my sewn bind-off then re-do all of that, no biggie in the end, I know, but still sad. I then proceeded to knit back through the neck ribbing with my main needle, rather than sizing down, so, I had to rip out the ribbing a second time. I have no idea what was happening. Crazy town. </div>

The pattern calls for needle sizes 6 and 4, and I used 4s and 2.5s. I knew I was knitting at a tighter gauge, but I liked my fabric, so, I knit the size 2/4 width and the size 4/6 length, no big deal. The yardage called for was quite high, and I was concerned I didn't have enough yarn, so, I added color work to the bottom of the sweater, which wasn't a big deal in the end, as I found another skein of the main color. In the end, though, it's nice I didn't crack into that extra skein, but even then, the yardage called for seems excessive, as I think I used two skeins of <a href="http://www.cascadeyarns.com/cascade-Cascade220Heathers.htm" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Cascade Heathers</span></b></a> for the main color, <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/stash/search#colorway-link=riverrock&photo=yes&yarn-link=cascade-yarns-cascade-220-heathers" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>River Rock</b></span></a>, which is only 440 yards. I also used colorways <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/stash/search#colorway-link=pacific&photo=yes&yarn-link=cascade-yarns-cascade-220-heathers" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Pacific</b></span></a> and <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/stash/search#colorway-link=skysummer&photo=yes&yarn-link=cascade-yarns-cascade-220-heathers" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Summer Sky</b></span></a> and sort of winged it for color placement.</div>

I love how the sweater turned out, and it was actually my FIRST time knitting with Cascade Heathers.... I think, anyway! I could be lying, aha! The fabric is great, and I am glad it'll fit through next winter, because of the length, though I probably did make the cuffs a bit snug. I like a snug cuff, but hmmm... maybe I went a bit far, aha. (Secretly, another great thing is that I used FREE stash yarn, as someone had given this to me!!)<br />
<br />
Some days...including Halloween - for which Matt receives most of the credit. He made their costumes, though I did make Tiberius a pair of <a href="https://oliverands.com/shop/digital-field-trip-cargo-pants-raglan-t-shirt-sewing-pattern.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Oliver and S Field Trip Cargo Pants</b></span></a>, minus the cargo pockets. <br />

I sure waited until the last minute to sew up this Halloween version of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/582456251788674/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Little Lizard King</b></span></a> circle skirt, <a href="https://littlelizardking.com/girls/city-lights-circle" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: magenta;">City Lights</span></b></a>. I kept reminding myself, kept putting it off, thinking the tulle would torture me. I bought the fabric a few weeks ago, and YIKES, Halloween is in 5 days, and I finished the dress only last night. It is super cute, though.<br />

Clearly, this is a pretty basic circle skirt pattern, and there is a sash option that I didn't include, though part of me was sad at the last LAST minute about not doing so. Then I got over it, aha. It was late. I know people can do the math and magically make a circle skirt, but I'm lazy and get weird about figuring things out on my own. <br />

Camden has been desperate for more sparkly/metallic in her life, so, I doubled it up - combining some glittery tulle from Joann Fabrics and some <a href="http://shop.moderndomesticpdx.com/robert-kaufman-essex-yarn-dyed-metallic-rainbow.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Robert Kaufman Essex Yarn Dyed Metallic Rainbow</b></span></a> from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/moderndomesticpdx/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Modern Domestic</b></span></a>. It's a great combination, though the metallic doesn't really come across in photos. The metallic also doesn't include any purple, but it all works out well enough.<br />

I could have gone with tulle UNDER the skirt, but the whole idea was something sheer swishing about over the solid layer. I wasn't sure whether or not to hem the tulle, but I did - and was bummed I didn't have matching thread, somehow. I wanted the colors of the skirt to pop, not the threads. It works, and nobody will care, but I do, naturally.<br />

The front waistband is flat, and the back is elasticized, which I always like, though I definitely waisted a couple inches of elastic, because I was sewing late and wasn't able to test the fit on Camden until this morning.<br />
<br />
The directions for the pattern seem great, though I mostly just sewed it up without using them, which is probably par for the course for anyone sewing this pattern. I printed out the size 8 and 9/10, though I ended up cutting the larger size...and I wish I had bothered to lengthen it, for no real reason, of course - just to make it last longer.<br />

Camden super loves it and showed a friend today how well it twirls, though I guarantee the one twirling photo I am including is awful, aha! <br />

I knew I liked cowl neck dresses, as I sewed a few <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/83287491/cowl-neck-jumper-dress-and-sweater" target="_blank"><span style="color: lime;"><b>Heidi and Finn Cowl Neck Dresses</b></span></a> back in the day. See below for crazy cuteness! But the sizing update for the H and F pattern wasn't sent to previous buyers of the pattern, so, I have been on the fence for quite a while about buying another pattern in larger sizes. I have talked with my sewing peeps for ages about which pattern to buy - which one offered the best slim fit I was going for - and a cowl. The cowl IS the thing, y'all. <br />

Anyway, super boring story short, I finally took the plunge and decided on the Uptown/Dowtown pattern. I am so glad! I like the shape of the cowl, and the fit of the dress is nice and slim, and you have options for sleeveless, plain neck, longer skirt, etc. I sewed it the same EVERY TIME, though, aha. It is literally the only version I like for this pattern, in terms of my style. Which is apparently Camden's style ;) I did lengthen the dress and the sleeves, though - one inch on each of Camden's versions, pictured here, and then four inches on her friend's. Her friend, Elora, is about four inches taller than Camden, which clearly doesn't mean I should lengthen the dress that same amount, but I was playing it safe. I ended up going with a bigger hem, probably a two full inches folded. Thankfully, I had her on standby, so, she was able to try it on. (I have since made her another, which I hope to have pictured on the blog when I do my next post about this pattern.)<br />

Elora's dress is in some cute Halloween fabric purchased at<span style="color: lime;"> <a href="https://www.joann.com/halloween-cotton-interlock-fabric-57in-gray-black-bats/16055865.html#q=doodle%2Bbats&start=1" target="_blank"><span style="color: lime;"><b>Joann Fabrics</b></span></a></span>, which is naturally on super sale right now.... too bad for me, LOL. (Note on the Doodles knit fabrics at Joann Fabrics...they shrink a TON. I had been warned, so, I took care to wash and dry mine three times. For example, I purchased 3.5 yards and it shrank to 2.75 yards, no joke.) Camden's dresses are both made in <a href="http://birchfabrics.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: lime;"><b>Birch Fabrics</b></span></a>, which I purchased at <a href="https://moderndomesticpdx.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: lime;"><b>Modern Domestic</b></span></a>, but which are no longer available there or on the Birch site, but I do see an Etsy listing for the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/645103493/birch-fabrics-organic-cotton-poplin-with?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=birch%20fabrics%20unicorns&ref=sc_gallery-1-2&plkey=194ef1c9f65c22885ae9b2576c10b31a4a456221:645103493" target="_blank"><span style="color: lime;"><b>unicorns</b></span></a> and a listing for the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/577262802/organic-knit-fabric-birch-folkland-knit?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=birch%20fabrics%20knit%20birds&ref=sc_gallery-1-15&plkey=3f08db32cce17f1839ce8d746976bf93a55232d0:577262802" target="_blank"><span style="color: lime;"><b>birds</b></span></a>. I LOVE this fabric so much. It is so wonderful to work with and looks so nice on. I had forever wanted to sew with Birch knits, and I'm glad I was finally able to.<br />

Finally, a pair of pants! Camden has informed me that she pretty much won't wear pants, but I have informed HER that is just silly, as I have a few pairs I need to make her, and I'm sure she'll quickly change her mind as the weather keeps cooling down. <br />

It is a fun outfit, relatively simple to sew. The ONLY trick is in remembering which side is the front, LOL. Labeling during sewing is fine, but I never use labels, and with this particular yoke, it is SO close, the similarity between the front and the back. I have a secret on this version, though: my button holes are accidentally a hair too close on the front side, so, it'll be easy for Camden to remember ;)<br />

Other than that, I did lengthen the pants and top, as usual. I can't recall if I always lengthen the actual pants, but it IS important to remember to lengthen ALL four pants pieces. I don't know if I failed to lengthen the top side panel, but I had to do some trimming as I was putting the sections together. Ah, well. They are a nice length right now - perfect for a bit of growing room without being too long.<br />

Through pure magic, I finished Camden's school photo outfit - score one point for me! I mean, there were failures, pin pricks and a 1:30 a.m. bedtime involved, but suffer pain and sleep loss for beauty, right??<br />
<br />
No joke.<br />

I am pretty much in LOVE with the final look of this <a href="https://violettefieldthreads.com/collections/dress-patterns-children/products/georgia-dress" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e69138;"><b>Georgia</b></span></a> and <a href="https://violettefieldthreads.com/products/lulu-pinafore" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e69138;"><b>Lulu</b></span></a> combination by <a href="https://violettefieldthreads.com/collections/dress-patterns-children" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #e69138;">Violette Field Threads</span></b></a>. I am so glad someone in the group mentioned she had combined these two dresses. As soon as I checked the pattern pages on the <a href="https://violettefieldthreads.com/collections/dress-patterns-children" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e69138;"><b>VFT</b></span></a> web-site, I knew it was a go for me, too! I then realized last week this would have to be her outfit for picture day, as I had clearly put NO thought into it.... then it was rush, rush, rush!<br />

Now, I did something I so rarely do - in fact, when WAS the last time I sewed up a pdf pattern??? Too many cute patterns have gotten to me lately, and as VFT only sells pdf patterns, I had to suck it up - along with a few other designers in my sewing future. Anyway, putting VFT patterns together is a piece of cake!! I like how the pieces are matched up; that sort of detail is a BIG deal. I did learn I need to go through Adobe to print my patterns at the right size, as I wasn't getting my one inch by one inch box.<br />

Starting with <a href="https://violettefieldthreads.com/products/georgia-dress" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #e69138;">Georgia</span></b></a>, the pattern itself is relatively simple - sleeves, bodice main and lining and skirt pieces - along with three other ruffles. If you are not into making small ruffles and inserting them at necklines and small circumference sleeves, then this isn't the pattern for you. Someone in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/412176435561635/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e69138;"><b>VFT Pattern Group</b></span></a> mentioned having issues with the sleeve ruffles flipping out, but that doesn't appear to really be a problem with my version, and as for the neckline, I understitched the ruffle seam to the lining, just to keep things nice and neat. Installing the placket was easy enough, but I still don't know if the placket is 100% needed. We'll just pretend that it is, aha - in terms of getting the dress over the body, I mean.<br />

<br />
As for the construction of the bodice and skirt, I sewed the sleeves onto the main dress fabric then hand-stitched the lining to the seam - and I did the same with the skirt/bodice attachment... as I did <a href="http://cottingtonssocrafty.blogspot.com/2018/09/paperbag-dress-for-school-girl-modkid.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e69138;"><b>HERE</b></span></a>. I was definitely feeling the pain last night, as I stayed up way too late and kept stabbing myself with pins, but I just felt this pattern, too, was lacking in nicer finishing touches. I just don't feel a dress should have a serged (or otherwise exposed) seem, when it could be completely covered up. It just feels so much more polished and is worth the time. And the only top-stitching, other than the hem, that I did on the dress was on the sleeves, to hold the ruffled seam in place nicely. Overall, it's a super fun dress, and I may have lengthened it for a bit more wear.<br />

<br />
Moving on to the <a href="https://violettefieldthreads.com/products/lulu-pinafore" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e69138;"><b>Lulu</b></span></a>, I just think it is a great pinafore. I am happy with the basic construction and the fit. I did a few things differently on this, too - to make my life easier and to give it a better end result, though sadly, a couple things didn't work out because I am a fool, LOL. The shoulder straps are to be sewn on the tab side and then folded under and top-stitched on the opposite side, but I sewed it as a tube then turned it out. I assume it is NOT done this way because the tabs are a bit annoying to pull through - but NOT impossible. And I didn't want too much top-stitching on this, either. I did insert lace on the shoulders, but I didn't think about inserting it on both sides.... and I completely forgot to insert it under the waistband, which I had meant to do. <br />
<br />
I waistband/skirt seam would have also been left exposed, as with the <a href="https://violettefieldthreads.com/products/georgia-dress" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e69138;"><b>Georgia</b></span></a>, and I didn't want this look, so, I had to think about that when installing the zipper. In this case, I sewed the zipper on to the main fabric first, then I hand-stitched at the zipper and all around the lining of the waistband all around. This meant starting my back skirt seam a couple inches down (they called for three inches, but I did no more than 2.5 inches), then serging that before applying the zipper. In my haste to be cool and have a fancy pinafore, I chopped off the top of the zipper, including the zipper stop - WHYWHYWHY????! Ugh. I clearly could have installed a new zipper, but I didn't have the right color, so, I hand-stitched four thousand stitches at the top, making my OWN zipper stop, aha. Not super classy, which is a bummer, but it works.<br />

As for the hem, I knew there would be shenanigans. All fanciness goes out the window here. I totally used a non-stretchy ribbon I have had stashed for years. I wanted to give the innards some kapow, which meant I am sewing insanely stretchy material to something quite the opposite. I did some tugging as I made my way around the hem, and while we know that isn't always a good idea, I was hoping for the best. I clearly ended up with a bit of a puckered hem. This was super frustrating so late at night, and I had to fix two different areas, but even still, in the end, it doesn't look too great. Camden doesn't care, and nobody would maybe notice, but a sewist totally would. <br />

Anyway, love the patterns and can't wait to make them again (I want to say SOON, but we all know I have a million things to make!). I do just wish the designers would step up the game a bit when it comes to finishing touches. Teaching home sewists is always a good idea; this way, they know there are other finishing options out there, and they can choose to be lazy if they want - rather than assume the home sewist DOES want the easy way out.<br />

As usual, I'm in shock. Did I REALLY last make an <a href="https://oliverands.com/shop/digital-apple-picking-dress-sewing-pattern.html" target="_blank">Apple Picking Dress</a> in 2015????? (Last post is seen <a href="http://cottingtonssocrafty.blogspot.com/2015/11/that-apple-picking-dress.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.) No. Seriously????! That doesn't seem right, and I feel there is a lost blog post - or a post never written, aha.<br />

Either way, sad times, as I love the pattern and apparently wish I'd made a million more.<br />
<br />
For all the extra work a button placket CAN be, this goes together quickly and has a polished look about it. My only issue with this version is that the spot where the tie meets the placket is frageeeelay. I don't normally feel this way, so, I'm not sure if it's the <a href="https://www.joann.com/cotton-shirting-fabric-57-multicolor-ditsy-floral-on-white/15777535.html#q=floral%2Bshirting&start=1" target="_blank">Joann Fabrics</a> shirting I used. I added some zigzag stitching to that spot, and I ended up pinching the main bodice fabric in doing so. It's not super noticeable, but I'm bummed, though I hope it holds. I definitely don't want to rip it out, as that whole area needs no added stress. And I have naturally instructed Camden to not yank on the ties at all.<br />

Honestly, maybe the craziest part of this dress is the sewing-on of TEN buttons. Jeez. It was a toss-up between these pink buttons and a sort of orange pair, but the pink seemed more delicate and in line with the look.<br />

This cardigan is SUCH gloriousness!!! Sounds ridiculous, but it's true! I love it so much! I have wanted to make this pattern for a long time, and when I found out <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/people/schneckenstrick" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Nadja</b></span></a> of <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/designers/schneckenstrick" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Schneckenstrick Designs</b></span></a> was hosting a <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/schneckenstrick-designs/3821506/151-175#166" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>KAL</b></span></a>, I decided to begin! I dug into stash yarn and used yarn that was originally planned for ME.<br />

(I shall take this time to announce that I pretty much can't see myself knitting too many garments for ME out of superwash yarns, so, I guess it IS helpful I have a few sweater quantities on hand to pull from for Camden or Tiberius, but it's also a bit sad. I just know my future self doesn't want to get frustrated with sweater growth, etc., so, I plan to mostly knit non-superwash when it comes to me.)<br />

The pattern is called the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mini-rock-rose-cardigan" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Mini Rock Rose</b></span></a>, and there is an <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rock-rose-cardigan" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>adult</b></span></a> version, which would be so fun, too! You can knit any of her patterns, I believe, and I have no idea when the KAL ends, so, just go ahead and join!<br />

I feel like I was on gauge - or super close, but I knit a size 6/8, and it definitely came out close-fitting, so, I hope against hope that it'll fit well through spring. I used <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hazelknitsyarn/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Hazel Knits</b></span></a> - the <a href="http://www.hazelknits.com/lively-dk-3/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Lively DK</b></span></a> base in the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/stash/search#colorway-link=cabbagerose&photo=yes&yarn-link=hazel-knits-lively-dk" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #351c75;">Cabbage Rose</span></b></a> colorway, which was a great yarn choice!<br />

The pattern was great - super clear and easy. I was relieve, LOL, upon reaching the bottom ribbing, as I was dying from so many bobbles, though bobbles ARE simple, and the pattern repeat wasn't complicated or anything. And I did follow the instructions and knit an i-cord bind-off, so, that took a while. I probably, as usual, made the sweater slightly longer, because I knit a longer ribbed section on the hem and sleeves. I love the finished size at the moment.<br />
<br />
After blocking, I almost went with a floral button, but the button was slightly too large, and though gorgeous, it detracted from the loveliness of the sweater.<br />

Camden wore this ALL day at school yesterday, as she was wearing her strappy <a href="http://cottingtonssocrafty.blogspot.com/2018/09/seashore-sundresssewn-up-for-first-time.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Seashore Sundress</b></span></a>, so, she wanted to keep warmer. That makes me pretty happy!!!<br />
<br />
And some fun days! We went to a Mini Maker Faire, and the kids enjoyed rock climbing, blacksmithing and screen printing!<br />

You must know by now my undying love of this dress. I daresay I like the pattern more than Camden does, as it isn't the first dress she ever reaches for. I have sewn a few <a href="https://oliverands.com/shop/book-report-dress-sewing-pattern.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Book Report Dresses</b></span></a> by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/oliverands/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Oliver and S</b></span></a> - shown <a href="http://cottingtonssocrafty.blogspot.com/2016/01/a-personal-favorite-book-report-dress.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #073763;"><b>HERE</b></span></a> and <a href="http://cottingtonssocrafty.blogspot.com/2017/11/a-book-report-dress-perfect-school-dress.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #073763;"><b>HERE</b></span></a>. It, like the Seashore Sundress, in my <a href="http://cottingtonssocrafty.blogspot.com/2018/09/seashore-sundresssewn-up-for-first-time.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #073763;"><b>LAST</b></span></a> post, is a relatively simple sew that you can turn into so much more. I clearly don't get crazy with the pattern, but I think I love how there are different "blocks" of color, in a way.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The pattern goes together easily. The only thing that may slow you down are the loops, and even putting those in isn't a chore. I am sure it's fun for kids to have hidden pockets, too, though Camden never seems to make use of them.</div>

I made a size 8, and I think I lengthened it, because this pattern makes it easy to do so. And because it has so much positive ease, I do like to get extended wear out of it by making it longer. </div>

Anyhow, this puts me at dress number 5 for Camden's new school year! Another is hot off the hand-stitching needle, so to speak, and I have plans for pants and a top AND a vintage pattern I have never sewn before. After THAT, y'all??? Oh, jeez - so MUCH!!!</div>

After the next dress blog post, though, I hope to be blogging about a finished cardigan, so, we'll see!</div>

I had help from my ladies at <a href="https://moderndomesticpdx.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>Modern Domestic</b></span></a> in picking the coordinating fabric, as I hadn't, for whatever reason, purchased any from the same line as the main fabric. The coordinating fabric is perfect!<br />

Because it has been so long since I last made it, I can be sure I probably did a much better job this time around. For example, I likely sewed it up per pattern instructions last time, but this time, I went the extra mile. The bodice lining is first sewn to the zipper, then bodice outer is attached and top-stitched down to the zipper. I did NOT want top-stitching, as it isn't as class on a zipper, on my opinion, and I wanted the inside finished, rather than having exposed, serged edges. So, I had to stare at it a bit in trying to make it all work. I sewed the lining to the skirt first, then I had to later hand-stitch the bodice outer to the skirt and the zipper - AND hand-stitch the bodice lining to the seam of the sleeve and bodice. In making up this crazy plan, I hadn't accounted for the gap at the bottom of the zipper - on the OUTside of the dress. YIKES. There went the idea of being classy, aha. I ended up ironing a small bit of fabric and hand-stitching that into the space. I think it turned out well enough, though it clearly isn't idea.<br />

I will say the tie is incredibly too long for this dress. I get the idea of wrapping it around a few times, but I actually cut the width of the fabric three times to get the length, which was still technically 14 inches shorter than what the pattern called for. I personally would have even preferred cutting the width of fabric twice - and saved fabric.<br />

I just think in its simplicity, it's such a fancy dress, and Camden loves it - yay!!! She will likely wear this on her third day of school this Wednesday. Such a fancy kid ;)<br />

I did sew a size 8 and wish I had lengthened it, but as with the <a href="http://cottingtonssocrafty.blogspot.com/2018/09/modkid-gretchen-with-little-bit-of.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>last dress</b></span></a>, I was being lazy. I just want it to last that much longer. As it is, I feel I could have placed the buttonholes a tad lower, as the dress rides up high on the chest.<br />

It is super cute - and strangely, I have never made one in such a dark color, so, I am glad I went with this gorgeous fabric. And other than adding flat piping, I changed nothing about the pattern, so, this is a simple post, aha.<br />
<br />
And... we have made use of Camden's prairie dress already! She wore it to the Fort Vancouver Reenactment night, and actors were trying to rope her into the game, but she didn't know to play along, LOL - asking her if she came in on the wagon train, etc. She was pretty fancy while we were there, and photo credit for the first two photos below goes to my friend, Elissa, and her fancier phone ;)<br />

Let's see..... Camden is almost 8 and a half years old, and I had this fabric BEFORE we moved from Vancouver TO Central Oregon. This means I probably purchased this elephant fabric between six and seven years ago. I believe I had a yard, maybe a yard and a half, and for the longest time, I had no idea how I could use it in a project. I wanted to be sure the fabric was the star of the show and that it wasn't cut into tiny pattern pieces, etc.<br />

Well, I met half that goal. I decided to use the <a href="http://pattyyoungdesigns.com/Gretchen.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>Gretchen</b></span></a> dress by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MODKIDFanPage/?fb_dtsg_ag=AdzoUwQ94n9eXKl_6WQEtYiSrjKHCPnx5DoVxGPFpcEQSQ%3AAdwhYUlvUlE9kYp_zvrs24EbsZTepDaOX88B0GDWNgW8GQ" target="_blank"><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>Modkid Patterns</b></span></a>, which I have used and loved before. For how cute it is, it is SUCH a simple pattern, and you can add in some extra bling with ribbon. And this is where I likely messed up. I could have kept the bodice front panel plain, surely, but I really felt I need something there, and of course, because I'm impatient and didn't want to wait to find a better ribbon, I went with something that is a bit too loud. That purple is too dark, and I'm aware of that, ugh. I did it, anyway. I have no idea what is wrong with me sometimes. Such is life, though, and a finished elephant dress is better than no dress, right??? And it just so happens that Camden is excited she was finally able to wear her shiny gold shoes I bought for school, aha.<br />

You can see I have made the pattern <a href="https://cottingtonssocrafty.blogspot.com/2015/05/cutest-dress-award-goes-tomodkid.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>here</b></span></a>, and in that post, I also show off the tiny version Camden wore when we were married in October of 2012. Funnily, one of those wedding photos was lying around in my sewing room yesterday while I was sewing the dress!<br />

As I said, the pattern is super easy, and the pockets are such a great way to show off a fun fabric. I have only ever done the short, elasticized sleeves, which is a great way to get away with using less fabric. I was a bit lazy and wanted to use twill tape, instead of making side ties, and the twill tape doesn't totally match, but again, I wanted the dress done, so, there we have it. If I had been thinking when I traced the pattern, I would have traced it longer, matching the size 10, but I was sort of worried about having enough elephant fabric. And I was very happy to find the Essex-dyed metallic. It is a pretty good match for the greens on the elephant fabric, and I knew Camden would be happy I chose something sparkly.<br />

So, score!! Dress number 2 is all done. I have started the next, and I'd like to have at least one more done before Wednesday, so, we'll see how that goes!<br />
<br />
And a few last pre-fall happenings....<br />

It has been MONTHS since I've last sewn a garment. Since March, maybe??? I have probably said it a thousand times, but I'll say it again: I do NOT like taking such a long break from sewing, whether on purpose or not. It makes me hesitant to get back into the sewing room, which is just silly. Once I am in there, I want to be a machine, so, it seems silly to be weirded out about pressing the pedal to the metal, so to speak.<br />

Today's post is about the lovely<a href="https://www.folkwear.com/collections/childrens-patterns/products/213-childs-prairie-dress-pinafore?variant=35452570126" target="_blank"><span style="color: #741b47;"><b> Child's Prairie Dress and Pinafore 213</b></span></a> by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/folkwearpatterns/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #741b47;">Folkwear Patterns</span></b></a>. I traced last week or the week before, and I managed to cut it out at some point - with trials and tribulations along the way, of course. I didn't realize until the day I started sewing that I had cut pieces out of the apron fabric that I needed to have cut out from the main dress fabric.... which then explained why I hadn't had enough fabric for said apron in the first place (which had resulted in two trips BACK to the fabric store, after I purchased the wrong fabric the first time, due to not taking in the original fabric for matching purposes).<br />

I will say this was a labor of love, as it felt like I was sewing forever, though I did managed to sew all three pieces from about noon on Thursday through 9 this morning, which is really less than two full days, aha. The dress was an easy sew, really, and I'm glad I went with the short version for the size 8 dress. As it is, it's pretty long on Camden, and she'll be wearing this to school, so, I hate for it to be more cumbersome than it already is. On the actual dress, the only thing I changed was in using lace, rather than a fabric ruffle on the collar. Ain't nobody got time for fabric ruffles. And I did add interfacing for the buttonholes and buttons, though it doesn't call for that.<br />

The apron/pinafore required more work. First of all, there are a million pleats, which are fine, but it does take time. The directions say to press them all to the left, fronts and back included, which seemed silly to me, as I like mirror images. I pressed the front pleats toward the outside, from the center on out. The backs, I pressed towards the outside, too, I believe. Also, the directions don't call for any finishing on the seams, which I did serge throughout, of course, but in particular, I pressed four different seams (where the side panels meet the front and back pieces) to one side then folded them under and top-stitched. This ensured there would be no unsightliness on the top edges of the front and back pieces. Clearly, these extra steps took up a bit of time, but I'm glad I did this process. And attaching the waistband is option, but I like the look. Sewing it on requires patience - and hopefully, you sew those pleats carefully so that the width is lovely, aha.<br />

The bonnet was an easy sew, though it is definitely a bit of a sun-blocker, aha! You can see in the photos that the brim is long, which means it wouldn't be safe to try and cross any streets without a chaperone, so to speak. Camden does want to wear this bonnet to school, but I told her there are rules about hats on campus, so, she'd likely need to remove it upon entering the building. Lastly, I totally did NOT mean to cut out the pinafore fabric for the ties - my bad. I didn't even think about it until after I was sewing the straps onto the bonnet.<br />

Overall, the directions were good, though I do wish the pattern drawings better matched the directions/pattern pieces, and it would have been nice if terms like "raw edge" were used more, when appropriate, as it would have made things clearer. I did struggle with the front/back markings, as I was over-thinking the directions and noting that the drawings didn't match up, so, I called the company, and someone answered right away and was super friendly and helpful.<br />

I totally smile each time she has tried the dress on. It is crazy cute and awesome in person to see her in something so old-timey. Most of the photos are clearly blown out, but I did use a quilting cotton I probably grabbed at <a href="https://www.fabricdepot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Fabric Depot</b></span></a>, and it is just right for the dress!<br />

Speaking OF the first day of school, it will be Camden's first official day of an official public school. She will attend three days a week this year, so, we shall see how it goes. Clearly, she is not used to an environment where there are a million students (to be fair, she will be at a school essentially meant for homeschooled kids, but it is still definitely larger than the schools she has attended previously). I am interested in seeing how kids perceive her clothing choices. I also hope that, if anyone says anything, Camden is able to stand strong in what she believes is a fun outfit choice for her first day of school. She definitely won't be dressed like everyone else, and a part of me is sad that she'll be exposed to this new world where lots of kids will think everyone needs to be the same.<br />
<br />
And a few days in the life of...<br />

I feel like this is the first thing I've finished knitting in FOUR HUNDRED YEARS.<br />
<br />
Which.... isn't true, but you know. Finishing a sweater always feels awesome. I have knit a pair of socks, but who knows where those are.... definitely weren't worn in the the heat of the summer. We'll worry about those later.<br />

Back to the sweater: I was so excited to finally whip up a new pull-over for Camden, in order for her to wear right away for the school year, but sadly, that won't be the case. It's lovely, and it fits around her well, but length-wise, it's insane. I knit the size 8/10 in the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/flax-light" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Flax Light</b></span></a> pattern by <a href="http://tincanknits.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Tin Can Knits</b></span></a>, and it is definitely more of a 10 in length. With superwash growth, it is probably a good 2 inches longer than it should be. I knit to the pattern specs, maybe a smidge over. Not a huge deal, but is definitely too long for her. <br />

I have knit the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/flax" target="_blank">Flax</a> pattern before, as evidenced at the bottom of <a href="http://cottingtonssocrafty.blogspot.com/2017/03/two-hats-for-family-can-you-fathom-one.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>THIS</b></span></a> post, but this was my first time knitting Flax Light. The pattern is lovely and easy to follow, of course, but I do wish they'd include short row shaping at the neck. For some reason, whenever I try to add short row shaping to a pattern, I can't figure out if I'm doing it correctly, even after watching YouTube videos and checking web-sites, LOL. I struggle. It looks fine, though, I think. Other than that, my gauge was a tad loose, which was annoying, as I swore I should have been fine knitting with a size 3 needle. The sweater is done, though, which is what matters the most, probably.<br />

I think the yarn is so gorgeous, too! I had Amanda over at the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_TsM5XzZ6-5zLRCAww7ZcQ" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Knit Cute Podcast</b></span></a> and <a href="https://lambytoes.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Lamby Toes Yarn</b></span></a> custom dye this yarn for me, and she did a great job. I ordered three skeins and have a ton left over, after having alternated between two skeins and using the last skein for the sleeves. This is another reason I wish I had knit at a slightly denser gauge; I feel I didn't do the yarn enough justice, aha! It's still super pretty, though, and I can only hope the head hole and chest fit Camden super well two years from now, when the length fits better.<br />

As for what we have been up to - it's been a summer of loveliness! We flew to Michigan for a quick family visit; it was Tiberius's first time flying, which was super exciting, though the kids may have been more impressed by the shuttle bus at the airport, aha. We also went camping a couple times, Camden has had a couple of sleepovers, and then the Michigan cousins came to visit US - yay!!! Camden starts school next week, if the district strike is over, and I have sewn up a fancy dress for the first day, so, I can't wait to show that off after I have photos! Also, a ton of house work has been sprinkled in. I can't wait to show off my sewing room when it's a bit more "done," so to speak. Matt has been working hard at his regular job, and he works on the house whenever he can. This weekend, he was working on the kitchen tile. We moved in about June 25, so, getting the tile done now is exciting!!! I hope it can be all grouted tomorrow - and that he can add the window trim soon!<br />

Every time I see Camden wearing her new socks, I say how cute they are, as it's SO true!<br />

She really wanted knee highs because it would make her more Hermione-like. Of course.<br />

I was excited to use a skein of <a href="https://makers-haven.myshopify.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Maker's Haven</b></span></a> yarn I had won in a giveaway on her podcast's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpWO7eO452rBo2T3Qo2gqKA/videos" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>youtube channel</b></span></a>! The colorway is called Sunkissed, though I see no other stashes of this colorway on <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/cottington/-245-childrens-easy-light-weight-socks-14" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Ravelry</b></span></a>.<br />

I used my usual sock pattern, the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/-245-childrens-easy-light-weight-socks" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Children's Easy Lightweight Socks</b></span></a>, and I simply lengthened them and knit ribbing on the back. I do always make the heel flap longer, to accommodate for my tighter row gauge on size 00 needles. I had never knit knee highs before, so, I pretended to myself they'd stay up above the calf with no further changes, but it seems as though that is NOT the case, sadly. They do tend to slouch down her leg, but she doesn't seem to mind. Also, I knit them on 56 stitches, which is my last time, I believe. I just started another pair of socks for her with a 60-stitch cast-on. they won't be AS snug, but they'll still be snug. It was just getting to the point where the fit ON is lovely, but getting them up over the instep is too much work, and I hate putting that much pressure on the yarn.<br />

Nothing super jazzy to say about the socks. As you can see, the colorway is super gorgeous, and thanks again to <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/people/Ambercrawley" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Amber</b></span></a> of Maker's Haven! The weather clearly hasn't been all that chilly for a long sock, but Camden is somehow powering through wearing them almost every day ;)<br />

Yes, you heard it here first! Camden is a bit of a sewing beast! With two handmade skirts under her belt - and an 8th birthday! - she was able to sign up for a spring break sewing camp at <a href="https://moderndomesticpdx.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;"><b>Modern Domestic</b></span></a>, which you KNOW is one of my favorite places on earth!<br />

She'd like to write this blog post herself, actually, but I would be pained in the brain to sit through that, so, I may see if she wants to add some at the end.<br />
<br />
She did love her class, taken with Karin Dejan (her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/materialgirlscreate/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;"><b>IG</b></span></a> page). The instructor prepped the pieces, in terms of cutting and pinning, but the students sewed and made the fabric choices. Camden clearly has good taste, by the way ;) Classes lasted three hours each day, Monday through Thursday.<br />

After they finished their projects for the day, students were able to work on a separate project, and the first day, Camden actually made a wee gift for her teacher, as it was Karin's birthday the next day. She was pretty excited about it, and as I was trying to rush her out at the end of class, she kept telling me she needed to finish something. She handed it to her teacher, along with a card, on Tuesday - pretty cute, I say!<br />

As for her daily projects, she made a drawstring bag, a tote bag, an apron and a pillow. They all turned out super great, and she even sewed a ZIPPER into that pillow, folks! Pretty cool! I was probably just as excited as SHE was each day, aha! She chose Cotton and Steel fabrics and fabric from Elizabeth Hartman's (<a href="http://ohfransson.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;"><b>her blog</b></span></a>) <a href="http://shop.moderndomesticpdx.com/search/terrarium/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;"><b>Terrarium</b></span></a> line for <a href="http://www.robertkaufman.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;"><b>Robert Kaufman</b></span></a>. Camden smiled so much on class days and really enjoyed herself and was so proud of what she made. I call it a crazy success and secretly wish she could take <a href="http://shop.moderndomesticpdx.com/kids-sewing-camp-make-a-quilt-monday-thursday-july.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;"><b>THIS</b></span></a> quilting class over the summer, but we'll see if it works into the schedule.<br />
<br />
It was a great week, and now Camden would like to add a thought about another project she made, which I kept mostly as she typed it, not correcting all her typos:<br />
<br />
"i wanted to tell you about this other project that I made at my class is a quilt with fringe on two sides. it is for my doll. i made it for my doll but i don't have a name for her yet. Any ideas?"<br />

Is that still true if I don't go to great lengths to modify the pattern and add crazy details??? I do tend the keep it simple and just let the fabric stand out, but it is one of my favorite things to make Camden. In fact, you can see ALL past versions in <a href="http://cottingtonssocrafty.blogspot.com/2016/06/lets-go-on-class-picnic-to-theaterand.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>this 2016 blog post</b></span></a>. How has it been that long since I've sewn this pattern???<br />

I became carried away with sizing on this pattern. Camden is a solid size 8, essentially, but I decided to go with a size 10 and then lengthen the top. It is clearly almost a tunic on her, and I may go back in and tighten the elastic on her shoulders. I also almost want to go back and make a size 8, LOL. I like that she'll get a good two full years out of the pattern, but the top is hilariously large at this point. As for the shorts, they will totally fit, waist-wise, through two summers, I'd like to think, but these shorts do run.... well, short, so, who knows where we'll be in a couple of years. <br />

Speaking of the shorts, this is one of those patterns where you think, "Awww, man, do I HAVE to???" The sewing of them seems daunting, for some reason, though it completely isn't. They tend to go together quickly, and it is nice that you don't need a lot of yardage for the main fabric, so, you can peep through remnants in your stash and likely find something. I had planned to use a solid purple for the trim on the shorts, but I wasn't feeling the shade of purple I had, in comparison to the purple on the flower print of the top (which is just Joann Fabrics, by the way!), so, I made it matchy-matchy, no biggie. A lot of the time, she throws on a camisole with the shorts, anyway.<br />

This pattern is seriously a quick sew, and I am just enjoying the last couple of years when I can sew things like this for Camden, because soon, she'll be too grown-up to want to wear these types of patterns. At least, that's what I worry about, aha!<br />
<br />
Nothing crazy has been happening on the home front, and I don't have many photos of work on the new house, because I have been running Camden around, and Matt has to work, so, we aren't able to get as much done. His parents have been super helpful - both at the house and with watching Tiberius while I ferry Camden to her sewing camp this week. She is LOVING it, and I'll have photos of that in the next blog post!<br />

Here's the deal! Poor Camden needs to represent this week! I may have said so in my last post, but Camden attends a sewing class at <a href="http://www.moderndomesticpdx.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;"><b>Modern Domestic</b></span></a>, and it's her FIRST sewing camp, for which we are BOTH excited! But I was aghast to realize it was coming up so quickly, and not only did she not have a fun Easter outfit, but she didn't have any new handmade clothing for her sewing camp.<br />

First-world trials and tribulations, y'all.<br />
<br />
It's rather easy to pull together the <a href="https://oliverands.com/shop/digital-music-class-blouse-skirt-sewing-pattern.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;"><b>Music Class</b></span></a> set by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/oliverands/" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;"><b>Oliver and S</b></span></a>, as it calls for low yardage. I have only ever once made the blouse with long sleeves, and I wanted to say I've made this a few times before, but I can find NO photo evidence of this fact :O Well...other than the version I made back in 2013. But I'm going crazy, because I know it exists. Anyway, I used the Tokyo Train Ride fabric by Cotton and Steel. I can't recall what I originally bought it for, but it works here, and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/228322187/tokyo-train-ride-countryside-in-natural?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=tokyo%20train%20ride&ref=sr_gallery-1-12" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;"><b>this seller</b></span></a> still has some in stock. You NEED this print. Orange does it for me, though, aha! Samesies with the skirt, as it calls for low yardage, and I'm so crazy with my cutting techniques - which often leaves me with fabric leftovers, and I'm all, "What do I DO with this???" LOL. So...good and bad having leftovers.<br />

The pattern itself, as usual, is quick and easy enough to put together. If you plow through those pintucks and pleats, everything else is a breeze. This was actually the very last outfit I made before shutting down sewing room operations. I hope that this time, there isn't such a long stretch between sewing sessions. When we moved in the summer of 2016, I packed things up in probably May, and then I wasn't able to sew again until November, essentially. I mean, I guess I could have set up shop at the kitchen table or something, but that is a whole slew of other issues.<br />

I know everyone and his/her mother has made this outfit, as it's an oldy, but if you have NOT, you need to! I have nothing new and special to say about it, other than my usual: ALWAYS lengthen Oliver and S patterns for longer wear. I made the size 10 this time (though an 8 would have been fine), and I lengthened even that, so, since Camden just turned 8 a few days ago, I'm hoping we'll get use out of it until she's partway through her 9th year. We shall see!<br />
