This smock was a present for a friend's child's second birthday. The pattern is from Bend the Rules Sewing. The blue fabric is a nice sturdy (but not stiff) twill that I got who knows where. It's thick enough so that I didn't have to line the smock like I did last time. The fish fabric has made a few appearances on this blog: it is a twin sheet set that I got at Target to back a quilt and then used to make Joseph a shirt. And there's still a ton of it left. That was $15 damn well spent.
I am getting to be quite the old hand at attaching bias tape. This is a skill that is not going to impress a lot of people, I'm afraid, even though I make Scott and my mother tell me how awesome everything I make is. I think this is why I love the internet. It's filled with people who appreciate bias tape and mitered corners and french seams and all the little details that make me pat myself on the back.
i agree. that was $15 damn well spent.
ReplyDeletei am right on the threshold of making my own bias tape, so yes, your bias tape THRILLS me. seriously, i find myself thinking about bias tape at odd times throughout the day. does this mean im strange?
i borrowed my friends copy of Bend the Rules and have it on my nightstand. i just began making the clutch on the cover.
oh, and the smock is adorable.
Ha, I have daydreams about having bias tape makers in ALL the sizes clover makes. How's that for a rich fantasy life?
