Further Proof I Am No Photographer

I have been busy playing video games and eating bonbons for the last while, instead of completing projects, and now I am in Christmas mode, so there will be fewer posts until after the holiday, so as to preserve the surprise.

I promised the younger of my goddaughters some pink overalls and finally managed to deliver.

I have absolute yards of dark pink fabric (it is either uncut corduroy or possibly velveteen, and 36" wide, so about 30 years old) that a friend of my MIL gave me when she was clearing out her stash. I made the garment (technically a jumpsuit) from Simplicity 8048, printed in 1998.  I could swear I first made it for my sister, but since the pattern is a size 7, she would have been far too old for it.  Hmm.
Anyway, I don't recommend corduroy for this pattern.  Turning the straps and the pockets was a nightmare.  Perhaps if I had used a cotton lining it would have worked better. The pockets are adorable - they have a little tie built in to the top that mimics the tie at the shoulders.  It took me the entire movie Despicable Me to turn the little buggers. If I had it to do again, I'd get a pink-and-white striped quilter's cotton to do the pocket and bodice lining. I bought a roll of daisy trim at "the W store" and attached it by simply running a line of stitches around the top and bottom.
