Selfish sewing

I've been busy the last few days doing some "selfish" sewing.  Actually,  I've been sewing for grandkids - but don't tell them; I want it to be a surprise.  One of my granddaughters, who recently turned 6, told me last fall that she wanted me to make something for her.  She proceeded to show me a skirt that was her favorite and wanted me to use it as the pattern.

Having my granny's sewing genes (see an earlier post), I proceeded to do just that.  I have it ready to give to her the next time I see her.  I also made matching dresses for her and her little sister that I hope they might be able to use for Easter.

Now, I'm working on some matching dresses for two other granddaughters.  And, I have a list a mile long of other projects I want to do for family members.

So, what happened to selfish sewing?  I have some patterns and some fabric for myself, but haven't quite made the time to make them.  Seems to me there is a children's story about a cobbler whose children had no shoes.............................

Oh, well, maybe next week!
