Repurposing #3 or If I Ever Have to Set in an Infant Size Satin Sleeve Again it will be Too Soon!

You may have noticed that I have not posted since Tuesday. That's because I was trying to set in the sleeve of the bodice for the Christening ensemble for my nephew, Little C.


Alright, that might be a bit of hyperbole on my part, but it did literally take me all of Saturday morning to successfully get the sleeves in.

Anyway, the Christening is rapidly approaching - April 17!!! And there is still a lot to be done. My sister, Poly, is working on the jacked and gown/skirt. I'm working on the bodice, romper bottoms, booties and bonnet. Wish us luck getting it all done. The bodice is definitely the most challenging of the pieces that I was assigned.

Here is a preview of the booties - this is the front. Won't they be sweet when they are done?


Let's hope!
