one more kids clothes week thingie i’m finally getting around to blogging…a simple skirt for E.
she still loves wearing skirts, and i still love making them. this one is your standard full-width-of-fabric, match the selvedges to create a rectangle, hem, add waistband type deal. a few details make it special, though. Continue reading
i have a pretty strong tradition of pajama pants sewing for kids clothes week, especially for this kid here. LET THE TRADITION CONTINUE.
pajama pants are the perfect way to turn a really fun print into something wearable and cozy. boy prints can be hard to find projects for, but PJ pants are always a winner i think. Continue reading
i have missed more regular blogging and i figure kid’s clothes week is a great reason to stay up late for the good of the cause (and to get back in the swing of things!).
sewing and blogging keeps me sane, so i really need to try to make more time for it again…we’ll see how it plays out. it is springtime, after all, and it’s been a sunny one for us here! so anyway, i thought i’d kick off KCW by clearing one out of my “to blog” queue…Em’s Easter dress.
doesn’t look much like the pastel numbers you normally see, eh? Continue reading
hi! today i’m joining Rae on her It’s a Small World (blog tour) After All with this sweet (and sour, hence the pucker?) little lemon drop dress for E!
oh man you guys, such cute fabric. i love it. and judging by the fact that i could barely get her to hold still for these photos, i know E loves it too. it’s just so bright and happy! i mean, check out this air! Continue reading
i did not predict how having a second boy would affect my sewing output. i should’ve – i’m a pretty practical person. but now i know that if i spend time sewing for O, two little fellas will be able to wear it. C now wears O’s handmade hand-me-downs, and it’s pretty darn cute.
plus i’m a firm believer in “boy clothes can be fun and exciting too,” especially when the kiddo has a say in them!
so once again, this guy gets to show off a whole new outfit.
