A week of baby stitching

Dorothea and I got a lot done this week (baby-wearing rocks!).  Mostly, I spent the last 5 days cutting out projects.  There are still a lot of projects left, but I've completed an epic baby seal bunting from Ottobre Magazine's Winter 2010 issue.

I've also grown tired of my Moby wrap--it's too much trouble to fold and unfold and get into and out of.  So, I made a Hood to Headrest Mei Tai.  Eventually, I'll put together the matching diaper bag I cut out.

And one last necessary item, a swaddle blanket that the baby couldn't wriggle her arms free of, was on my agenda.  Unfortunately, the baby seems to have decided, between cutting out and stitching, that swaddling is a great affront to her dignity.  Nevertheless, it's finished, and quite fashionable.

  1. *snort* Oh dear, I have a feeling with your athletic little one that "affronts to her dignity" will be many and unpredictable. Is she still convinced that if put down on any surface other than a lap, she'll perish?

  2. Ah, yes, she is. Though she did nap in her bed while I sewed yesterday. Night-time, apparently, is when the invisible thumbtacks come out and line surfaces.
