backlog: shirt
i'm behind on documenting things i've made. in an attempt to catch up, i post this shirt which i made in may. simplicity 4589, same pattern as this dress, with adjustments again.
as i was making the shirt with this fabric, i was sure it would end up looking ridiculous. but, i like it enough to wear around the neighborhood (which actually means nothing- the bar for "things to feel good about wearing in prospect heights" is set very, very low. . .). but, i do also wear it to church, which does mean something.
the oh-so-smooth self-portrait in the car is shown to give you a sense of the actual colors. in the first photo, the white-balance setting for the camera was on (i have yet to actually "balance" the white). i couldn't adjust it enough in post-production without being too obvious (i.e. my skin turning green). and i now am realizing that the wind blowing distorted the actual shape of the shirt (less maternity than it appears) but you get the idea.
and because i like them alright, here is the rest of my family on the way home from church in staten island today:
p.s. if you haven't seen the video clip from on the previous post, do scroll down and watch it. you'll get a total picture of who my little girls are lately.

Just had to tell you how much I love the video of eve and ruth. Ruth's little meltdown is so great. I've already watched it a few times and requested that all the Bronsons watch it as well. I love it. Also, cute shirt!
Isn't it fun when you have this great itdea but your kids just won't cooperate?
Your girls are so precious. I love the pictures of them in the car. And as always, cute shirt! Great fabric.
awesome fabric. your my one-and-only homemade clothing fairy hero.
You are so awesome. I've been catching up on your blogs since I've been gone and you make me just want to get in the car and drive to NYC. It was great to hear that Mary is still doing amazing things. I remember many of the things that you shared about her before and remind myself that if I can even dabble into being that much of a supermom I'm doing pretty good. Your girls are sooo cute!
Loved the video... I sure am excited to have those girls over here again... and no getting sick this time !!
You had me going for a second there with that "wind-blown" blouse. I thought it may have been your not-so-subtle way of announcing something...? Hmmmmm. Oh well.
Again - loved the video. Your girls did NOT inherit the "ham" side of you! XXOO - Mom
