So, not too much to report, since the last getting it done update was only two days ago....
But I've got two new baby bubbles for my "baby". He might be getting big, but until he can really talk....I'm going to pretend. And the best way to pretend is to dress him like he's a baby, in a summer bubble.
So I put together a quick pattern by tracing a bubble that was already in his closet. As I worked on the first one, I jotted down measurements for elastics, straps, and the order of steps. The first one took me about 4.5 hours; the second only took 3. Clearly I'm not the quickest maker -- but that's ok, since I'm still getting it done, and I'm still satisfied with the results.
Both of these bubbles were also satisfying (as was the elephant dress) because they used up a few things from my stash. I bought zero supplies specifically for these projects -- I just used things I already had on hand -- making these "free."

The first is made of double gauze, leftover from making a swaddle blanket before he was born. The second is made of one of sweet hubby's old shirts that had long ago been stuck into the "fabric to upcycle" box. I love how both turned out!
