my girls, your girls

Every season it happens. I insist on trying to make cute clothes instead of buying more and end up with SO much to do for my girls. I have to weave my projects in with all of my customer orders to make sure it all gets done. And to be honest, sometimes my girls' stuff just doesn't get done. Here are some of my projects thus far for this season . . .

Walmart Garanimals shirts for playing. I paired them with cute skorts I also found at Walmart for Evynne and shorts/capris I already had for Elly. Both girls also have the shirt below with yellow bottoms . . .

These are tops with matching capris that mom and I found at least a year ago at an overstock sale . . .

I love them! And since I do so much, I have to keep it simple sometimes. These red shirts are going with turquoise gingham bottoms (I LOVE red and turquoise!!!) . . .



These tops are going with brown gingham shorts . . .

Can you tell I'm a bit obsessed with this ribbon ricrac trim?! This won't be the last time you see it either!



And here are some other girl projects that were interwoven with my girls' projects . . .





{LOVE the popsicles from Applique Cafe. I did this same shirt for Evynne although this one was for a friend. You may remember another top I did for Evynne with that middle popsicle fabric. Grandmomma made her capris out of it and I just really love that fabric!!!}

That's it for now, but I'm still sewing like crazy. Pretty soon I'll be doing a Kelly's Kids Coordinates post. I've been working on lots of tops to match Kelly's Kids bottoms, etc. Fun stuff!

i heart this

I made this shirt today for Evynne to go with a blue/white checked skirt. The skirt has applique flowers on it so I wanted to keep the shirt simple. I LOVE this lemon colored lettuce shirt with the royal on it!

Way too often I get in a rush doing things for my own girls and end up not being pleased with the result {I'm REALLY trying not to do that this season!}. This time, I was thrilled! Even though it was still a quick design to stitch out {relatively speaking}, I love the result. I can't wait to see it on my five-year-old!

UPDATE: I just realized the skirt that this goes with is with a short sleeved shirt in the previous blog post. The short sleeved shirt is an example of one of those things I did without thinking it all the way through and ended up not really liking. It was just TOO much going on with the skirt. And the E looked more like a backwards 3 for some reason. Maybe because I did a 2 on Elly's shirt.
