Bee Overalls


I present to you - my second garment. I got this pattern at the thrift store for 25 cents. The black fabric I already had (just a light cotton). I got a happy bee iron-on patch, yellow grosgrain ribbon, and little happy sun buttons to finish it off. I also needed snap tape (baby clothes have snaps in pant inseams to facilitate diaper changes) which is really the only downside to baby clothes - it's tricky to put in. The major upside is that all the pieces are small and easy to cut. Also there's no really long straight sewing lines which I have a bit of a problem with still.
I sent these bee overalls to Australia as a gift to my new second cousin. They were well received by her mum (I even got a charming thank you note -- in the mail!). I really enjoy giving away my creations.
