Clothes for the kiddos

Last week while visiting my friend Mel in Dallas, we sewed up some clothes for her kids. I brought fabric and patterns and we made a MESS out of her dining room (her husband would have been horrified!) sewing up new outfits for her two precious little girls.

Here's a run-down of what we were able to accomplish during nap times, after bedtime and between trips to the fabric stores:

For Emma (4 weeks old):
2 criss-cross tops and matching Capri pants

• Back of criss cross top in Strawberry fabric


• Front of criss cross top in Strawberry fabric


• Matching strawberry Capri pants


• Front of criss cross top for Emma Grace out of purple frog fabric


• Back of criss cross top made for Emma Grace out of purple frog fabric


• Capri pants made for Emma Grace out of purple frog fabric

For Olivia (2 yrs old in July):
3 gathered tank tops - with matching shorts for 2 of the tank tops (pink polka dots and purple frogs)and a gathered elastic top from red bandana-type fabric

• Pink and white polka dot tank -(matching shorts in progress)


• Purple Eyelet tank


• Another tank top out of the purple frog fabric


• Matching shorts for the purple frog tank top


• Red bandana top - (this is just precious when she wears it with her "hobo jeans"

For Mel (the mom of the 2 precious girls):

• The perfect diaper bag - as seen in a previous post
