Quickly, then: Another baby, another coupla sewing projects for babies.
If a new dad calls you and invites you to meet the baby, you have to bring something. Even if they say you don't have to bring anything. I understand, I mean, they have the *baby*, how can you really improve upon this?
Seth is a baby-holding pro. He can sit and be still about 1,000 times better than I can, so he overcomes the apparent baby-holding disadvantage of maleness.
So here's what I whipped up:
I "followed" Amy Karol's directions; I had lightweight iron-on interfacing rather than Heat n Bond Light (lite?). And clearly I couldn't cut out a nice square but had to dither about what "font" to use. I didn't use a font, just drew it, and agreed with Seth's suggestion that "it should have a dot"--that is, be a lower-case J.
Next post: the other sewing project for a different baby (a nephew, actually), and a review of Bend the Rules Sewing by good old Amy Karol.
PS Seth laughed at me for having pre-washed onesies on hand for this. I told him I specifically had them on hand for just such a purpose! Which was only slightly untrue -- there's a bunch of fabric paint that was supposed to have gone on the onesies for gifts long ago. But this is better. Really it is.
