Hardly any knitting done this weekend – I’m still on the pyjama kick!
\nWe went to Spotlight again yesterday so that the Empress would pick out a summer pyjama pattern. When we got there, it turned out that they had all of their sewing patterns on sale for half price, so I told Em to pick out a few patterns.
\nSimplicity has Lizzie McGuire patterns. Emily went mad, picking all sorts out. I restricted her to four or five, we went to the counter, stood in line for ages, got to the front.. you can see where this is going, can’t you?
\nLizzie McGuire patterns are not available outside the US. She was mightily disappointed to say the least. We went back to the Simplicity book, and sure enough, in tiny letters at the bottom of the page it says “Not available outside the US” Scumbuckets.
\nI hate<\/i> that. In most of the pattern books it happens. The dress up costumes especially. So I came home, checked out eBay – the only Lizzie McGuire ones there are toddler sizes, scarves, or too big. (What’s with an 8 1\/2 being bigger than a size 12??)
\nI convinced her to pick another pyjama pattern, so I’ve cut it out, and I guess I’ll sew that up today. I like to make her clothes – that way we can usually reach a compromise on the skirt lengths (not too short), where the pants sit (Not too low!), that sort of thing. Honestly, half the clothes in the shops will not<\/i> be worn by my child. Not while I have a say in it, anyway!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
