An actual a storm too, because it's been really rainy around these parts! For all those that live around the area: Sorry, y'all! ;)
I've had (and have) a million sewing projects on my list and after browsing the talented Kristin's blog, I've felt really inspired to get off my butt and get sewing!
I turned a couple of old t-shirts into little leggings for Audrey! Some plain, some ruffly on the bum. I die for little ruffles on babies. The cuteness kills me and it never gets old.
We use cloth nappies on Audrey. We love them, but cloth nappies are quite a bit bulkier than disposable nappies. Baby clothes typically aren't made for cloth nappies. This is where making your own leggings is really helpful! Big on the bum and skinny on the legs. So cute.
I've also been whipping up a couple of these cuties! All in all each skirt takes about half an hour. I could probably sew them faster if I weren't such a wreck with the sewing machine. There's a lot of unpicking involved because I soooometimes get a little too excited with sewing really really fast.
The dark blue is a little skirt I made with leftover fabric from a skirt I made for myself. Now me and Audrey can match! Again! The polka dot skirt is for a friend.
SO cute, eh?
Dear friends,
I think you should have more baby girls. Just sayin.

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Those are absolutely adorable! LOL I got a sewing machine over a year ago and it sits collecting dust in my art studio =( I am not very good with it but maybe with some practice, it wouldn't be so bad. I love those little leggings and skirts!

Once you begin perusing this, you can't stop without finishing it. That is the amount you get consumed into it.

Thick enough to see what you are doing, but small enough that you can keep track of it and maneuver it on your needles. retro garn
