Fall is just around the corner: clothing challenge

Fall Kitty

We’ve been having such a fun summer, and as I look out the window and see the sun-dappled, lush and green trees, it’s hard to believe that autumn will be here in no time.

K is equipped with a new backpack already and we’ll need to go shoe shopping in a week or so. And then there is the ritual of Fall clothes shopping — oh, how I love little girl clothes! However, this year I’m doing something rather ambitious and kind of crazy: I am going to make all her clothes for the next 12 months. That’s right folks, if it’s not underwear, socks or tights, I will be using my trusty Bernina sewing machine to produce outfit after outfit. It’s been way too long since I’ve sewn her anything, and I miss the therapeutic hum of my machine and the intense concentration that comes with sewing. Not to mention the incredible satisfaction of creating a little wearable art.

First up: a dress! Plans and pictures to follow soon (though you won’t be seeing K herself – internet safety, y’all).

I’m not known for my green thumb, but I’ve bee I’m not known for my green thumb, but I’ve been able to nurture the indigo plant seeds that my dear friend @rachelannbillingsgrunig gave me (harvested from her own garden!). Rachel is a master at natural dyeing and I’m super excited to learn from her and create indigo-dyed linen. This is all I have going on in the gardening front, but these bright green seedling leaves sure feel perfectly summer-y to me…🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
