Kit and Ruthie Have New Pajamas

Kit's jammies aren't really too new, but Ruthie's are hot off the sewing machine.  I had the pants done earlier, but Miss V really, really wanted to have new jammies for Ruthie, so what's a Grandma to do?  Now time to put the three of them to bed.

Shopping trip

I had to go to the dentist this week.  I imagine, like most people, it isn't always the most fun thing to do.  There's a catch here, though.  My dentist happens to be in the same city as one of my favorite website fabric shops, and when I go there I can stop in and shop in person!  Banberry Place (www.banberryplace.com) has terrific fabrics, most of which are from European sources.  The thing that fist drew me to the store was the huge number of knit fabrics that Corie had available.  A couple of years ago it was almost impossible to find any of these types in fabric stores.  I'm glad to say, that a few are available today, but not to the extent that this vendor has.

As you can see, I didn't go away empty handed.  I ended up with a couple of solids to make either shorts or capris for the girls and four prints for shirts or dresses.  I actually bought more for me than the grands this time, which is unusual.  I recently made up Kwik Sew 2900 for myself and really liked it, so plan to do some spring and summer t-shirts.  I bought some cute ribbon, too, to add to either doll clothes or outfits for the girls.
