Sewin' Fool...

If you know me very well you probably know a couple things about me:

1. I {heart} being crafty and creative

2. I am ridiculously impatient and patterns/instructions are not for me.

That being said, I had pulled away from sewing (which I used to love) and my machine sat in its place for months at a time... useless. This also could be due to the sewing burn-out I experienced after making/selling thousands of baby leg warmers, but we won't talk about that.

Well, for some reason I decided to pull it out and make some pants for Piper using a pattern (yes, I used a pattern!) I already had and some scrap fabric I had as well. They turned out great! They fit and were so much cuter than anything I can get at Target (the only place I can afford to buy childrens clothes). So I went crazy and made oh, about 10 more. As

well as several pants and skirts for Belle and a dress! The only reason this was accomplished is because the pant pattern is pretty much idiot-proof and only required 1 cut... perfect.

(best pic I could get quickly)

Anyway, here are a few of the items I made. The dress was completely from scratch and thankfully its kind of a shabby style because there are more than a few mistakes on it {oops}. But Belle loves it and has twirled all day long. Pipers shirt was not from a pattern either and had to be taken apart and put back together a few times:)

Of course I couldn't leave out the little dude, so he got some baseball pajama pants.
