Sewing sewing sewing... I'm not all that great, but I do enjoy it when I get the chance to make some stuff... Typically, I'm best at straight lines (isn't everyone?!) so when it comes to making clothes, I can be put a little off by it... such as, how the HECK do you hem a circle skirt?! I try and I try and I fail every time... but here are some things I did this week that I did not fail at!
Zachary and I attended his best friend's birthday party (she turned 3!) today and she had the coolest pirate theme, so of course I had to make them some pirate-y outfits to wear :D
The back of birthday girl's outfit:
My son's outfit (he wouldn't sit still for a decent photo... this is the best shot I got of it all day, grr, argh!):
And both of them together with Rachel's mommy in the middle holding them in place, lol!
And then, I made one more outfit as Rachel's actual birthday present, and if it looks weird, it's because it's on my son who is definitely not girly at all!
Please don't tell my husband that I took a picture of Zack wearing girl's clothing... he just might maim me for this ^_^;;
Let's see... the birthday outfit was made from McCall's pattern M5836 and the costumes were basically altered white t-shirts, a no-sew tutu, and altered pants. I also stole the red vest from a monkey Halloween costume that my MIL made for Zack two years ago ^_^
We had a lot of fun today at the party and meeting all sorts of new people!
Please don't tell your husband who is a subscriber to your blog. Well done on the covert action there dear. Oi, what am I to do with you woman? :p
