Fashion Starts Early

Obviously, I haven't been blogging much lately, so...what have I been up to? Running my own preschool clothing sweatshop, that's what!

Here's what I've made for Kiki in the last couple of weeks:

With the exception of two of the looks (the yellow ruffly top with pants and the maxi dress with the blue and yellow stripe), I've used two patterns:

First, there is this Apron Dress/Peasant Dress pattern from Portobello Pixie. It's so easy and fun to make!

Second, this great pattern from Whimsy Couture for knotted overalls. I just can't get enough!

And Kiki has actually been wearing them! It's so much fun to make girl's clothes. You can really go all out with the patterns and colors.

I'll be linking up here!

My Little Love Bug

Kiki got some adorable lady bug leggings for Christmas, however, she didn't have a shirt to match! I finally got around to making her one today.

Her favorite pose lately:



I went to Goodwill and picked up a plain red shirt (yep, that's where hubby and I went for our date night!) and added some black heat transfer. But it wasn't quite enough.

(Sorry about the horrible pictures. Yesterday it was 70 and sunny, today it is back to being 30 and dark. Also, it seems I have to use the flash to get a non-fuzzy pic of this busy lady):

I added a few little bows on the sleeves and ladybug and then some ric-rac to the bottom. Viola! Another adorable V-Day outfit!

I will be linking up to these great parties!

All I've Ever Wanted

I've always wanted a twin. Probably better to have a little girl that I can match with!
