B.U.S.T.E.D.

TLo is causing all sorts of clothing problems at our house.   She is one solidly-packed little kid.   She is now up to a size 10/12 in width for RTW bottoms but a 5 for length.   Maybe.   Pain in the butt.

And speaking of butts… I started adding to her (sadly deficient) school uniform wardrobe.  Yep.   It's that time of year again, people.   I made a capri-length version of the Smoke On The Water Shorts (Ottobre 1/2009 #23 ), using a Dockers remnant that I got online.   I use the term “capri” loosely.

I added 1/2" to the entire width of each leg since the SOTW shorts were a bit snug at the hip.   What I should have done is add to the crotch length in the seat (or, in fact, just traced out the next size up-- doh!).   She could use some loose in her caboose.

Here is a back view:

 

And here is the table view:

 

And here is TLo re-enacting her favorite dance routine:

A.K.A. "The Busted Song" from Phineas and Ferb.

Smoke On The Water

Ha.  That has absolutely nothing to do with this post.  I just have that riff stuck in my head.    It’s seriously annoying.

Anyway, here’s a brief little post.  Seriously.  I’m just phonin’ it in today, people.  I have had a Bad Day.  I work with what are quite possibly the stupidest, laziest, annoyingist (it’s a word) people in the world.  Ever.

TLo has been begging for “jean shorts” (and no, Big In Japan, not “jorts” which yes, is totally eeeew). 

I finally broke down and made her, uh, some.  Sort of.  Ok, fine.  Technically they are made out of denim, so they are therefore “jeans shorts”.

Well.  Technically.  Strictly speaking.  If you squint your eyes…

Don’t judge me!!

1) Ottobre Design, issue 1/2009 #23.  For boys.

2) Bad denim (yes, that same bad denim from this post and this post).

3) Well, what do you expect for free?

 

Yeah.  This is what ‘free’ gets you.

Complete with tacky pocket detailing.

 

 

And no, in case you are wondering: our doorknobs are not suddenly and spontaneously moldering.  We have… some doorknob issues.  And apparently at one time the entire interior of our house was painted pistachio green.  Yay.
