sunday afternoon

After lunch i wandered upstairs to my sewing room. I found these old t-shirts from last summer and fabric that had been buried under some other projects. All of a sudden i was motivated to sew and whipped both dresses off in under an hour. My youngest daughter had her nose over my shoulder most of the time. She was helping anyway she could, she was so excited to see the outcome.
I figure if spring isn't coming to us, then we just need to make some inside the house.

Those are adorable! My 18 month old son likes helping too. He hands me pins and generally gets in the middle of things, but by the time he's four, we'll be a great team. ; )

Oh my goodness! those are so cute! She looks adorable. Nice work! Well, I think we are finally getting some spring this week - it was 12 degrees today. I forgot what that felt like :)

What a great idea to combine t-shirts with some extra fabric to make a dress! I should try it for my daughter.

BTW - I like your blog's new look!
