down tools

Feeling really spent the last few days, and really uninspired. So I took a break from sewing up dolls (6 new ones in the works), downed tools and sewed up this bib for the little man. The cowboy fabric is a vintage piece from Lisa I've been holding on to for just the right project. It's backed with white flannel, and closes with a snap. I'd love one of these snap fastening machines - hammering small objects while pregnant (read: clumsy) is a dicey proposition. Also, I fluffed the binding a bit. It's some really thin stuff (about 5mm wide when sewn in) that I picked up at the op shop ages ago. I knew at the time that it should have been hand sewn instead of squeezed though the machine, but forged ahead bloody-minded anyway. Love that colour green, though. Thanks for all your lovely comments recently, about my grandfather and about baby boy. Please know that I absolutely appreciate each and every message. Oh, and I know I'm often a broken record on this count, but I've fallen behind with my emails again. Thanks for your patience if you're waiting on me.
