Sew Fun, Sew Cute

Yesterday was the first Wednesday morning I have had to myself in quite some time. I made a dress:

Isn't it darling? Wait till you see the little one wearing it. . .
She's such a cheese ball!

But a sweet heart cheese ball. . .

Oh the drama. . .

And THEN I made PJ's for Little. You know how I am about cute jammies. With our new "use what you have" rule, I decided to sew instead of buy. I have never done this before. AND I didn't have a pattern. I took a picture of the pattern I made so my mom will believe it really happened:


End result:


And, one again, the ham. . .

I am impressed with myself, I must admit. And, the tutorial I found online for the jammies was so simple, I am going to make more. I might use that dress up material from Little's five year birthday party. I feel like Maria from Sound of Music. . . guard your draperies!!!

SO CUTE!!!! You have inspired me! I have never made clothes for the kids, but if you did it with all that you have on your plate, maybe, just maybe I can too!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
