Finally, 251 pictures of Jakob and family are on my computer. My dd will stop whining and sending threatening, cajoling emails demanding new photos of her nephew and she will only harass Josh for new photos. Here are just a few of my favorites. Obviously, I will not be posting 251 photos anywhere, except maybe to our digital picture frame. It's better than tv these days.
Josh, Sarah and Jakob.
Sewing update
The Celine knockoff knit top only needs to be hemmed but I wasn't in the mood to change the thread in my coverstitch machine, and I am sewing the black pants. No lycra in this fabric and I narrowed the legs considerably. I added more to the in case sas, and I know that they will stretch out a bit as I wear them, but hopefully they will not be too tight to be comfortable. Looking good, does not always mean comfortable in pants. I tucked a lot out of the back to get the legs to hang off the pancake ass and not get caught up on my calves, so I am feeling the legs in the back. I added about a half an inch more to the back leg from just above the knee down to help. I may need to scoop out the tusch a bit more if they pull down in the cb too much. . These pants are 18 1/2" wide at the hem, and my tnt pants are 22" wide. That's a big difference, especially since I narrowed the leg under the crotch per a Threads article. Ahh, the never ending quest for great fit.

I am in picture overload, happiness mode. ...And would not mind seeing all 251 of those pictures. I must meet Jakob!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat baby is sheer perfection. What a dream he is!
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy boy!
ReplyDeleteAnd to sewing pants: why is it that we never find the holy grail of a tnt pants pattern? In my sewing lessons I'm trying to get a good fit for not too wide pants, what a nightmare.
He's adorable! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteMy, he's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJakob sure is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by your note that your pants get caught up on your calves and that you've taken a tuck to remedy that. My pants almost always get caught on my calves, too, and I haven't found a satisfactory fix yet. Would you be willing to post a photo of the pattern change you make? Or perhaps you've got that in a prior post and I just haven't found it yet.
Looking forward to seeing your latest pants.
Too cute, love me some baby pics and your GS is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love the Tennessee tshirt picture!!! Are you originally from Tennessee? We are huge Big Orange fans.
ReplyDeleteThis is an adorable baby boy!!!
His grandfather on the other side played basketball for Tennessee so I grew up being a big fan. Go Big Orange!

ReplyDeleteLisa B, I will definitely post on my pattern alterations. They fit and most of the wrinkles are gone. Of course when I photograph my rear end I am sure more will magically appear!
ReplyDeleteHe is just adorable.
