When Sewing Goes Wrong

Once upon a time I told myself that sewing children's clothes was a stress-free activity because you never had to worry about the fit.  You know, a child's never going to tell you "the shape of that skirt makes my butt look big" or "I really don't have the right bra to wear with that shirt."  And most importantly, if the garment comes out too big, no worries, they'll just grow into it.

I'm now seeing the folly of my ways, however, because the one thing that I didn't take into consideration was making something too small (which seems to be a theme around here lately).

I've been working on this little hat over the past two days and was super-excited to try it on O since we were having a much-deserved sunshine break around here.  But when I went to put it on her I found that it literally was only going to sit on her head.

Damn it!  I swear I measured her head and everything.

Mommy, get this ridiculously small hat off of my head!
