Kids Clothes Week Part 1

Confession time. Kids Clothes Week was 2 weeks ago. I made, uh, 3 dresses for V, and exercise top for each girl, and shorts for E. So 6 items. I’ve taken (crappy) pictures of two dresses. And I only took

She Doesn’t Want to Smile for Pictures

Her sister tried to make her laugh… But nope. No smiles. You would think she hates it, right? She doesn’t.  She wanted to get the pictures done as fast as possible so she could wear it right away (I finished

Not a Dress

It’s Kids Clothes Week again which means I’m making the girls stuff they don’t actually need! Honestly though, it’s more fun when I’m making what I want rather than what they need.  I’ve done the legging blitz before and I

KCW: First Costume Done!

I always sign up for Kids Clothes Week. This year, it falls at just the right time for costume sewing.  E wants to be young Maleficent and V wants to be Unikitty (from The Lego Movie).  I started with the

KCW: One Last Thing

This week?  Was not a good week for productivity.  I had the girls with me most of the time on top of a to do list a mile long.  I had to go to bed way too late to get this

A Princess Dress

I’ve made maxi dresses for E but I haven’t even considered it for V.  She’s not quite 4 years old and I still don’t think she knows how to manage all that material without tripping over it.  But she really
