Since Kailan hasn’t been acting up and getting all attitudey on us, he has been getting clothes sewn for him. Anya needs to earn more dresses, even though mommy really wants to make more.
These shirts are the same pattern as the last one. I just used buttons instead of snaps and only one pocket. I finally figured out how to use the button hole thingy on my machine, and it works pretty good actually. I cut out both at the same time, so I mass produced sewed them at the same time. Much more efficient use of my time. There are a few more that I have to cut out yet. I wanted to make sure he was going to wear them before I made them up, and he has been reaching for them in his closet. Yay!
He was pretty happy with the shirts. The first shirt has knights and chinese dragons on it.
This second shirt is poker cards. He will wear it when Brian hosts poker at our house and be his daddy’s good luck charm. It doesn’t work so well for him since he stumbled a bit and managed to bite his tongue. This kid could get hurt in a bubble, I tell ya. 😉
I also made an outfit for Anya (a.k.a. the Toddler-turned-Teenager) in May but never got a decent shot of it. It is a shirt from Target with a Tinkerbell applique of the fabric. The skirt is a skort for our little princess that likes to get dirty. She just looks like an irritated teenager here, doesn’t she?
Then I made myself a few things. I made a shirt and skirt set, but once they were done I realized that they looked a bit too much all together. I’ve just worn them seperately. Of course having pictures of them would be far too organized, so just imagine a white peasant top with a shirred bottom with sleeves in a pretty bright green and white knit. I did the skirt witht the green knit and made some ruffles. It’s cute, trust me. I have several things I’ve made for me that haven’t been photographed. Maybe I’ll get to it soonish.
None of this was completed last weekend, since that was all about the landscaping. I’m still a bit sore and very sunburnt. Oh well, it looks pretty! Hope everyone else had some time to get crafty last week. 🙂
O love your son’s new shirts! Way way fun and cute! I cringed when I saw that washcloth in his mouth… oy! He’s a mouth kid…ouch! My son is the same.. any injury is always mouth related… some kids are head, some are their limbs, but no no not yours or mine..lol! It’s the mouth! 🙂
Beautiful Anya in her new momma made clothes too! She is precious! It’s so hard when you get a strong one, isn’t it? Hard now, but it will be great later! LOL!
Hugs.. Amy
You always blow me away with your choice of fabrics. They’re so bright and out there! I can imagine doing a shirt for Himself in the poker cards 😀
That skort is pretty cool. It doesn’t look like a skort from this picture. Very full! Very cute. How does it work?
I can so relate to the toddler turned teenager. That attitude drives me nuts. I am sure it is only going to get worse before it gets better. I love the shirts for Kai. Of course, Anya’s outfit is perfect too. Can’t wait to see photos of the stuff for you. Why does it seem easy to sew everything up, but so hard to photograph? I have the same issue.
I love how you say, “Maybe I will get to is SOONISH”. Good word! :0) Fun outfits for Kai….I have had to deal with Little Miss Attitude around here lately too. Its so hard to get them under control sometimes. She thinks she knows everything at 4 years old! I dont think Anya looks irritated. She looks adorable.
Love those boy’s shirts. I see a retro bowling shirt. He is the luckiest boy in town.
Gotta LOVE the teenager angst in the 4, 5 and 6 year olds. We are so in trouble aren’t we. *sigh*
But at least they are well-dressed!
I love the playing cards shirt – that is awesome! K. is definitely one well-dressed boy!
Thanks so much for hosting CT next week! I can’t wait to get back and check out your craft goodness! Have a great week!
Poor Kai getting hurt again! Sounds like me! And, yep, you can see that attitude all over Anya’s face – I thought that was supposed to hit at 11? Watch out Momma!!
I love how you mixed the patterns in the first shirt. You sure you don’t want to start your own Children’s Clothing line? The boys clothes you make are so much more interesting than what you can buy in the store.
Those shirts are SUPER fun! You have the best eye!
