I think this is how long it's been since I sewed any non-event children's clothing.  That makes me so sad.  But my sister got me a superbuzzy gift certificate for my birthday, and I finally cashed it on some Oliver + S patterns and fabric.  This was my first attempt at these patterns and I kind of understand the oohing and ahhing, now.  For the two of you left out there who have not tried them, there are some clever construction techniques and the end products both fit and look great. 


I could not encourage my child to model shorts on a day with 8" of snow outside, which was kind of surprising because she generally likes to be closer to naked than not.  But you get the idea.  This was just a scrap of leftover denim to test the sizing (after all my Ottobre debacles can you blame me?) but I have some fabulous Japanese linen/cotton that I'm dying to try next.  Assuming I can sew another garment before this summer :)
