Today I Made This Smock

(Pattern from Bend The Rules Sewing)

I got up early to let the dogs out and the house was so calm and quiet that I was tempted, for once, to stay up instead of crawling back beneath the warm blankets to eek out a few more moments of sleep.  I made my way to my sewing room, found this pattern, and started sewing.  The daughter awoke and found me working on her surprise; she remained to keep me company, singing songs and clapping whenever I finished a section of bias tape.  Her only request after a day of wearing her new smock?  That I add a pocket or two for her pennies.  I think I can manage that.

You may have noticed that I skipped both the Thanksgiving and Black Friday posts.  I wasn’t camping out in a long line to buy a plasma screen t.v., but I was hanging out with family and friends…I suppose you could say we spent those two days making memories.  Pictorial evidence:

I hope you and yours had a lovely holiday, too.
