A Tiny Bit of Me Time

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the last two weeks, what with the socializing and trying to do regular things when Winter is only half over and all I want to do is read in bed with hot chocolate and all, I have hoarded a few precious productive moments here and there for me and me alone! I have this incurable desire to make myself dresses, all the time. Which is more than a little crazy because I can't even wear dresses most of the time when someone (ahem, 5) will desperately need to nurse at any minute. So. Dresses.

I really wanted to take another crack at this Lola pattern (see my first attempt here)- mess with the sizing, the sleeves, and the fabric weight. I made this version out of two T-shirts and am just pleased as punch with it. It's kinda short, so I have to wear pants under it, but that's okay because then I am always nurse-able. You may have noticed that the stripes don't line up at one of the seams. I did try to line them up (which is unusual for me) and I know that some of you would be driven crazy by this kind of thing, but it just doesn't get to me. It's one of those very special powers that I have, like ignoring dirty dishes, or stepping over things that I put in front of the door to remind myself to take somewhere...

I also squeezed in a pillowcase top for myself! It's actually made from a pillowcase. A lovely, thrifted, fifty cent pillowcase.
Fred was mystified when I bought said pillowcase months ago. First, we don't need any more pillowcases at home, and second, he could not imagine me wearing anything so girly.

I love it. It reminds me of grandmothers and teacups and houses where all the beds have handmade quilts on them.

5 and I are leaving tomorrow for a rather long visit with my parents, so I will be posting from beautiful Madison, WI!
