But you know how I love to match the kids. Well, it's turned into just the girls now. Landon is just plain out of that stage now. Oh well. :-(
But the girls and I went and picked out some fabric. I'm keeping it SUPER simple. I just don't have the same amount of time on my hands like I did before Lillian was born.
So no button holes or snaps! It's basically 2 pieces of fabric sewn together with a few embellishments and ribbons that tie at the shoulders!
So bring on the rick rack and pom poms! :-) I have everything cut out and the trim pinned to almost everything. I'll have these zipped together in no time! And my plan is to let my friend Carrie monogram a couple of them. I bet she'll have some cute ideas for me! I promise Carrie! We will get together and pick out something cute! I'm sayin' it here! :-)
Now, if only this spring weather would go ahead and get here!
Where do you go to find fabric? It seems harder to find these days.
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I could sew. I would love to make some cute dresses for my daughter! Even some spring outfits for my son.
ReplyDeleteI love all your coupon/savings posts...very inspirational. I blog hop frequently and found yours through my cousin's wife (Family of Riches) and the similar blog name (tarheelmom.blogspot.com) caught my eye, then I found some other cute ones through yours! I guess I am identifying with ya'll because I have 2 kids and 1 on the way and figure other people can handle 3 kids...
Anyway, keep up the good blogging and feel free to post tips on raising 3 for those of us about to go there! ha

Super cute fabric!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am loving that polka-dot fabric - where did you find it? I'm with shlane, it is SO hard to find super-cute fabric where I live ;(
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the finished products!
I went to Hancocks...sometimes they'll get some cute spring/summer fabrics in.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the really sweet smocking shops around town have GREAT fabric...at a little higher cost. I do reversible sometimes, so I try to find one fabric at the nice smocking stores, and then a cheaper one at hancocks. It's all about the detail though. Rick rack, ribbon, pom poms, appliques, monograms. I try to keep it super simple and then do the cute add ons that make it look more finished! :-)
Please post pics when they are finished!! I am a beginner's sewer and would love some tips of teh trade!!...also want to learn how to smock if you know how to do that?!
