I've started a sewing project! Wheeee!! My first in a few years other than mending. Between lack of space, pregnancy and then baby, I haven't made anything in a few years. It feels good to be working on something again. I'm making the overalls from Simplicity 3322 in a navy linen/rayon blend found at Joann's. I never find anything at Joann's! Pretty sure you've all seen this pattern before, but I'll post a pic of it anyway. This won't be my first time making this pattern, so even though it's a different size this time around, I'm not going to worry about making a muslin first. (that makes it sound like I'm usually good and do make a muslin! ha!) I'm pretty sure the fitting adjustments I made to the pattern should be good. Plus, this pattern has a 3/4" side seam allowance for fitting already built in. I'm still thinking about the buttons on this. White is what I have in mind, and I picked up some basic ones at Joann's too, but I'm really not enthused about them. Anyone know a good mail order button place?
Now onto the cupcakes! I read about Jilly's Cupcakes here in Saint Louis the other day, and managed to persuade my husband to swing by there this morning after we did the grocery shopping. I just had to take a picture of them! They are soooo gorgeous, and pretty yummy too!! The frosting is definitely what makes them! We got the Creamcicle, the Death by Chocolate and the Jilly Burger.
