bit of sewing... bit of baby....

Sewing with a newborn is tricky at best, but I needed to get two dresses out quickly for my midwife's granddaughters (since I said I'd do it.. um.. probably two months ago), so I turned to my trusted Olivia pattern by Farbenmix and got to work!
First, a super feminine request...

And then I did this one because it's one of my most favorite fabrics!

But THIS is why I can't get anything done these days..... Sweet, smiling, five-week old Hazel Jane...

(shirt is from the Zwergenverpackung pattern, pants are Little Comet Tails Cresent Moon Yoga Pants)

She's here!!!!!!!

Sweet Hazel Jane was born on March 6th at 4:11 p.m. weighing 8lb 10oz and 21.5 inches long!!

She's perfect in every way, of course... and her birth? Amazing. Painful, long, hard, but amazing.... Everything I hoped with a homebirth with the midwife.

And hooray that I get to use all those sweet baby girl clothes ;)
