When my big kids were much younger, I used to sew almost all the children's clothes. It's been several years since I've been very productive in the sewing room, mostly just a project here and there.
But I'm slowly kicking things up a little bit. I think I've mentioned that our dentist is next door to Hobby Lobby. Taking the kids every 6 months gives me a chance to add some fresh fabric to the stash, which usually inspires a bit of sewing.
The dress is Katie's, the skirt is Hannah's. The dress is a Big 3 pattern I've been using for ages. Hannah had several tops from that pattern. The skirt is a Kwik Sew pattern that I used to use for Annaliese and Brianna. (It's also the same one I used to Hannah's first day of school Panda Skirt, and for the Very Hungry Caterpillar skirt.)
Katie "models" while Eli plays on the computer.
I love that Hannah and Katie are okay with matching. I remember when Josiah and Samuel decided they were done with me making them matching shirts.
I have a bunch of pants going for Luke right now. I hope I guessed right on his size for the winter! It feels good to be creating again.
Thanks for clicking for us!

I'd love to see pictures if you do! I remember your big girls in their long dresses and bonnets. :)
DeleteThey're so cute! (The girls and the clothes. :)). I know you're sewing because it's a fun hobby, but I'm just curious if it also saves you any money from buying new?
ReplyDeleteThis are beautiful! You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteDarn autocorrect. THESE are beautiful.
DeleteThank you! :)
DeleteYou've done a wonderful job Shecki! I love to sew too but haven't for a little while. I should get back at it too.

Wishing you a lovely weekend.

What do you like to sew, Jennifer?
DeleteI think if my sewing room got more sunlight I'd spend more time in there.
