Made up a new stencil the other day:
**Update: these stencils are of the freezer-paper variety; for a good tutorial go here**
I bought this tea outfit a few months ago but the shirt looked so…blah. Had to spruce it up.
Can you tell it’s a dog? Mr. Rae says it kinda looks like a rat. Not that it really matters, but Elliot is a huge dog fan (from a distance, of course), so I was going more in the canine direction. The idea actually came from this picture from Print and Pattern back in May.
I had some extra paint so I decided to make another one — this time on a newborn onesie. Not sure…
Phew! Our weekends away have finally ended. We spent a few days at a cottage on Lake Huron, a few days in Chicago (without baby!) , a few days camping with my mom’s side of the family, and last week my parents stayed with us before we drove to West Michigan for my Grandma ‘s 90th birthday party.

And yes, that was a dig at typepad…who ever heard of a non-automated robot? Dum-dums.
Thanks y’all for the wonderful comments! It’s really exciting to hear how many of you have been inspired to make…
So the top-making is over, at least for now. I’m going to take a little break from making stuff for me and try to make some baby clothes.
Which means it’s time for a poll. Cast your vote on the sidebar to the left. Note: they are listed in the order pictured, starting at the top left.
For you to sew!
