This is a big milestone...I actually sewed clothes?! I have never taken home ec. or been formally trained (with the exception of some great friends that have recently shown me shortcuts and a wise, church lady that gave me a pillow making tutorial), so please excuse the uneven ruffles, etc.
I made the pants for Sid- they are a riot, I had to add a band at the top because I did not cut the pattern accuratly. Then I just took one of his white button up shirts and added some of the gigham fabric.
Kate and Maddy- I made a pattern from old file folders and eyeballed some of their current dresses. I should have made the pattern a little larger because they just fit them :-)
I also made them some ruffled leggings to go under the dresses and some walmart t-shirts with a little embellishments for some casual Easter events this weekend.
I should mention, the ONLY way I got these items finished is because Justin was on vacation this week and he took the parenting lead during my usual lead hours. Thanks, honey! I was so glad to just finish these!
Now let's just hope that the clothes don't fall a part while they are wearing them :-)
