KCW, Day 7: The Western Railway Museum + Bimaa

At this point in Kids' Clothes Week, I am frankly, too exhausted to blog. So this is not going to be the wordiest post.

Today, we all went (along with some friends) to the Western Railway Museum, which is about 45 minutes away from where we live (but in Solano County, where I work). This time of year, they also do a "pumpkin patch" with fun things for the kiddos.

It was really, really, really windy. Cold, bitter wind, too. We were sorely unprepared for such temperatures, and of course, my hair was a wreck.

Joe wore his train shirt, which was very appropriate. But like the rest of us, he was shivering for lack of warmer layers!

Maggie wore my last official KCW garment: a Bimaa hoodie. This is actually part of her Halloween costume, but you'll just have to wait and see the whole thing (any guesses? I know some of you know ... ).

This was a pretty "quick and dirty" sew. I am getting a bit desperate as Halloween approaches. I didn't even read the instructions, so I can't really review the pattern. (*Ashamed.*)  But I love the fit of this little top. I did make the hood a bit smaller, by narrowing the middle piece, in order to fit Maggie's head more snugly, and to work better with her costume. I love the way the hood pieces fit together and I love that there are no hems! I will definitely be making this again (more carefully, actually reading the instructions). Maggie definitely needs some cowl neck tops.

I wish I could say that I am exhausted from KCW and done sewing for a while, but I am not done with the kids' costumes yet! I gotta say, I am seriously burned out on felt right now. But it seems the only way out is to push on through.

Pushin' on through. Pushin' on through.
