T-Shirts for Little Boys

I finally located my stash of black knit ribbing—hiding underneath something else—and finished some little boys’ T-shirts yesterday afternoon.

I used the Oliver + S School Bus T-Shirt pattern, which I think fits well and is easy to make.

Yes, I also question the wisdom of white shirts for active little boys, but that fabric had fire trucks on it. I made them matching shirts in both fabrics so there would be no arguing over who got what. I still have another four cuts of fabric for a few more shirts.

And don’t active little boys also need some cute and practical rain pants? Peek-A-Boo Patterns just released this one:

We’ll see. Maybe for next fall.

I stopped in at our Joann Fabrics on the way home from picking up my rubber floor mats and getting chicken feed yesterday morning. How sad to see such a formerly vibrant store circling the drain. I know Joanns management said no stores would close, but I doubt they can keep that promise. Stock that has sold out has not been replaced. There were only two (very subdued) employees working. Clearance is marked down to 80% off and the sales were deeper than I’ve seen them for a long time.

I also popped in to Thursday sewing at the community center and got to see Sarah. She has been busy making bags and brought several for show and tell. She’s been experimenting with different designs and styles. I told her she has way more tolerance for research and development than I do. Most days, I just want to make a pattern where someone else has done all the math for me, LOL.

I have been in town every single day this week and I am looking forward to a day at home by myself. We are running low on a few pantry items and I need to make some chicken stock and can beans.

Our bunny was in the yard yesterday morning. We haven’t seen it since last fall, when we watched it turn from brown to white. It is still white. I’ll try to get a photo.
