Everything will be okay

Today is about change.  Change is not always scary and huge and horrifying but most of the time, it is.  I feel like I will look back at this time in my life and miss it.  Miss living on love and a little girl that thinks I'm a rockstar just for being her momma.  I will miss working hard with my little family to reach our goals.  But for now, It's just scary.  But I'm reminding myself that I can do anything but not everything.  Some things will be neglected and forgotten about, but as long as I make sure the important things aren't, everything will be okay.

Refashion: Baby Sweater

You will need:

An old adult sweater. 

(Mine is a mens sweater that I wore during my last pregnancy)

wrapping paper or scrapbook paper for your pattern

A sweater that fits your child well

pantry items:

sewing machine

scissors

thread

scrap fabric (optional)

First take a sweater that fits your child well and cut out a pattern.  Fold the sweater in half and cut a piece for the body and a piece for the arms.  I just used old scrapbook paper but you could use anything really.  Take your old sweater and cut out a piece for the front, back and both arms.  Make sure to add 1/2 inch seam allowance to all pieces.  Try to find a part of the sweater that will make it more interesting or in my case I turned the sleeves inside out so the writing wouldn't show.  Also cut the ribbing from sleeves and the bottom if you would like your sweater to have it.  Now sew it back together just like the large one and wallah! A mini version.  I originally put a hood on this one but it didn't over her head so I had to scrap it.  But the best part is this fabric doesn't fray so any alterations are no big deal.  She also requested some hearts on the front.

And she's off!
