Boys Can Sew, too.

Yesterday, I got the rare chance to putter in the sewing room.  What usually happens when I go in there is that I get an audience.  Yesterday was no different.  At one point, I had 5 kids hanging out in there with me.  Sassy Girl regaled us with tales of how she knew how to make shirts and pants and such all by herself at her grandma's house.  We hear a lot of "stories" lately.

Eli got the chance to finish his self-drafted game boy pouch, which only needed a button hole.  

Sassy Girl seemed a little surprised that Eli could do such a thing.  He's now contemplating making a pouch for his Kindle, too.  I'll encourage him to go with a heavier weight fabric next time.  

After picking up a bit, deciding to toss one of my mending projects, and repairing a hole in Annaliese's squishy pillow, I pulled out some autumn colored baby wale corduroy to make Hannah a dress.

Only Eli wanted me to make him another kilt.  See, when he was in kindergarten, the kids were supposed to dress up for international day, and he asked me to make him a kilt so he could be a "Scottish dude."  I even went so far as to fashion a sort of Sporran and sock flashes.  It breaks my heart that the pictures of him in that are gone in the hard drive crash.  :(  He was so stinkin' adorable.

But he's still pretty cute now.  

I pleated and ironed and came up with this yesterday.  I think he needs another Medival Wooden Sword to go with it.  Maybe I'll add that to his Christmas wishlist.

Now, back to that dress idea!
