It's been a while since I pulled out the sewing machine to sew for my kids with work...and then the new baby. I started sewing 3 years ago. And one of the first things I sewed- was 4th of July dresses for the girls. From then on...I continued to sew for the girls various dresses, but always made a point to sew them something for each holiday {Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's, etc.)
So with the 4th of July coming up. And having added a baby {boy} to our brew...I really wanted to get back into sewing.
I decided on this knot dress for Parker. She has told me that she no longer likes to wear the dresses with a ribbon (the pillowcase dresses)! I thought she might like this. And yay- she does! :)
For Grace...I really lucked out and she is wearing the outfit I made from last year. (Love it when that happens!) I made the circle skirt using the tutorial from Made. And for the top, I just used a tank and sewed on 3 rows of ruffles. She found this in my sewing room closet a couple of weeks ago and put it on. She loved it and can't wait to wear it again (which I love!).
And for Nolan....I made this suspender tie onesie. How cute is this?? I was nervous to sew on the oneise (because it's knit and small)...but it wasn't too bad. There is definitely a learning curve to sewing on those suspenders (and it has its mistakes), but it will do for now. (I used this pattern.)
Our firecrackers!
