smocks are good

a friend of mine sent me this very simple smock pattern that i knew i wanted to try out for collette. once i finally found the time and motivation to do a little something in the studio, uh i mean basement, from start to finish this little number took me 45 minutes. seriously. pretty good right? i'll say. some brown corduroy, beautiful trim from lisa and a fake "serged" edge and done. i could have made it even easier (remember easy means lazy for me) on myself and just edged the thing in bias tape but i only had extra wide brown so instead i opted for a quarter inch fold over and some tight zigzag stitching. this was by far the longest process. i really want one of these for myself. is that wrong? hmm... i would show you this smock on collette, but really, she never ever ever wakes up from a nap happy. ok, maybe like twice, but yesterday wasnt one of those days. you would think after getting all that snuggly good rest in she would be beaming. not so. not even with a cracker. oh well. must take after her father...
