Thanks, Jordan! Sewing these little things has been great fun and cheaper than therapy, as they say. My niece is expecting a daughter in October, so I can just keep on sewing baby things to my heart's content. I have started a quilt for her and may make a tiny newborn size dress like the one with the embroidered skirt, but with long sleeves for winter.

so sorry You can't love on that baby in-person! We finally got to see our 3 g-boys over the 4th--it had been 3.5 months and felt like 3.5 years. my middle one, starting 1st grade in a couple of weeks, wants me to make him a "leaf" jacket--we discussed that real leaves would dry out and crumble--so he agreed that leaf fabric would be ok (of course his brother one year younger wants one too) but I'm having no luck finding a jacket (he did specify a zipper instead of buttons although I figure I could alter that). Has anyone ever bought a pattern from McCall's Simplicity, etc on-line?
