    Bike shop baby

    Many of you know I am a professional seamstress, specializing in technical clothing.

    My good friends own a bike shop and the gal approached me about doing "something" with a jersey for their baby girl to wear to events.

    I haven't had this much fun with job, in... I don't know when. Little Miss P will be very well kitted out when she goes to events with mom and dad.

    Notice shop logo on the little sleeves...

    I actually went a little crazy and the kid now has a whole freaking ensemble!




    back to my regular stuff now.

    Mom gave me one of Dad's jerseys to cut up. I found the black polka dots at Jo Anns, and I have tons of black lycra here.
    Little Miss P loves clothes. She is so funny, she will try and grab them from you.

    I had no idea! Do you do outside work? I have a few jerseys that weren't available in my size, but I bought them anyway and need to get them altered (typically, a small down to an XS.) I could send a jersey that fits perfectly, so it just has to be close to that one.
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    Years ago Irulan took the first cashmere sweater Thom ever bought me and turned it into a bike jersey.

    It amuses me to mountain bike in cashmere and it's still my favorite winter jersey.



    Although now I'm wondering about adding a full zipper to it.

    Veronica, can I snag that photo? I'm so glad to hear that you are still riding in that jersey.

    I don't want Susan or Jeff to get annoyed with me for shameless self promotion but you can email me off my weblink, facebook me through the business facebook page or send me a PM and I'll give you my email address.

    Regarding ruffles, mom let me know that the back of the jersey placement of logo is great as they carry her in their arms, backside out, a lot of the times. The ruffles should show like that too. Nichole and Chris ( mom and dad) do a lot of professional shots so I cant wait for pix.
