Monday, I started coming down with what I thought was just another headcold. It turns out that it’s a doozy. Yesterday (Th), everything hurt. I napped at least 3 times by lunch.
The children have been helpful and understanding through this. I’m thankful the older two can do basic food prep, though, as I was not up to being in the kitchen.
I was, though, blog reading. I came across ikatbag which has some tutorials and was taken by a cute skirt shown as an example in a pocket tutorial. So, combining the round-top pocket, instead of the triangle she has on the cute skirt, and the instructions for adding a hem band, I came up with this:
