Either thread color would have contrasted way to much.  SO, my next one, I think, will be for Daniel, reversible blue and green, I think... Or maybe just a single side with a hood:)  I LOVE my Kwik Sew for Toddlers book!  Can't wait to get the baby book for Anna!  Thank you Esther!</div> <bR> <div> <B>September 28, 2002</B></div> <div> Look what I made for Anna!  I remade the pants from a pair I originally sewed up for Daniel, just added elastic to the ankles to make them bloomers then made a swing tank top out of some leftover fabric from a jumper I made for me a couple of years ago!  Way to go thrifty mama!
