A Sewing (Mis)Adventure

I was determined I was going to make Nate's Easter outfit this year.  I found a pattern, made a test run, made a few alterations, then made the real thing.  I even taught myself to applique so I could make it themed for Easter.  I had great visions of the adorableness captured in photos as he did his first Easter egg hunt.

I put it on him this morning to determine button placement and the dang thing is too short.  WAY too short.  There's no adjusting to make it work.  I was so disappointed! Hours of work (and probably too much money) wasted.  Grrr!!

So, after 10 minutes of grieving my hard work and pricked fingers, I decided that even though I didn't have time to remake a whole jon-jon, Nathan would still wear something I made for him. Gosh darn it!  So I took a onsie I KNEW fit and appliqued a bunny on it.  And it's cute.  And although I'm still disappointed about the jon-jon mishap, the bunny is pretty cute, so I'm satisfied.  But we still have to go buy him something to wear to church.
