sewing

my niece is expecting a baby in a few months, and since i'm always trolling the craft blogs i found this idea for burp cloths and bibs. i haven't sewn for a long time so i'm a little rusty, but i think they turned out ok. the amazing part is how expensive material is these days, lucky i got the fabric on sale. i remember when (oh oh my age is showing) sewing was inexpensive. my sewing machine is 43 years old and runs great. i brought it when my second son was in grade school and had to wear uniform pant. well he was tall and skinny with a waist size of 25 and i couldn't find any pants that would fit him in the waist that were long enough, so i purchased a size 4 pattern and made all of his school pants for a few years.
