3 Shirts

I made all of these shirts a while ago (right after Christmas), and they all fit at the time. Now they don't fit so well at 32 weeks pregnant!




The pattern came from a book (did I mention this before?) called One Piece Wearables, meaning that all of the patterns are pretty much only one piece, cut from one piece of fabric. One of my frustrations with garment sewing has been how complicated pre-made patterns can be. It seems sometimes as if it takes as long to cut out all the individual pieces as is does to sew them together- except that there are so many pieces it takes even longer to sew them together! Anyway, I like the shirts, and they're ridiculously easy to customize. I'm still working on finishing techniques, but I'm getting better and better.

Eating Well

So far, the food processor lives up to my expectations. However, I'm not in the habit of taking photos of my culinary concoctions (unless they're really a lot of work, but the processor was purchased to reduce time in the kitchen so that probably won't happen very often). Successful uses of the food processor in the last few days include: quiche (grated cheese, then made the crust), buttermilk scones, and... at least two other things. See? I can't even remember what I made, so it probably wasn't worth a photo in order to post it here. We all have enjoyed eating what I've been making, so the processor is a handy helper in the kitchen. I'd like to try soup (when you puree half of the contents to give it a more creamy consistency), but I don't think the veggies in our CSA box this week are really geared toward a great soup. I'll have to check again.
