Reversible Pinafore Shirt for a Toddler

I saw this cute Pinafore dress made for 6-12 month babes.  The lady made the pattern but was using the dress as a shirt for her toddler girl.

I tried it, and it is an easy pattern.  However I do wonder if it printed at 111% instead of 100%.  She said there was an issue with it, and this fits my almost 2 year old perfect, even almost as a dress.  Matched with some cute leggings this thing is super cute.

I used fabric I had on hand.  I think I will make a pattern for a regular top without the pinafore back to save on fabric and extra long stitching. 

You can find the pattern here.

Dinner tonight?

Honey Roasted Potatoes

Do you have a vice? or something you adore to do? If I had to name a couple, it would be cooking + sewing.  I don't mind the dunkin donuts run either.  That place just smells like happiness. You?


Ingredients:
4 Medium Potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 Tbsp Honey
Pepper, to taste
1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
2 Tbsp Olive Oil

Directions: 
Preheat oven to 375 F Degrees.  Mix honey, pepper, Dijon mustard and Olive oil in a bowl.  Using a whisk works well.  Then add potatoes and mix all together.  Spray non stick spray on your baking pan, and add potatoes.  Bake for 30-35 Minutes, until fork tender. We had it with fish sandwiches and corn.  Very nice flavor.

Enjoy your weekend!

Reversible Baby Boy Vest

 I saw a super cute tutorial on how to make this vest over here.

 I used jean and some "pleather" I had in my fabric stash.   This vest was easy to make and now I'm coming up with a girly version of my own.  I didn't add any buttons to this one, but you can of course. 

 I think I'll be making another one, but with cotton fabric.  It would definitely make the arm holes easier to do.

 This one went to one of my nephews.  Now I'm on to make a shirt for spring for my little one.

Lunch or dinner this weekend?
