Summer Projects

Sew, I have started a new project. My children are growing like weeds, and well, it they need some clothes to just plain be kids and get dirty in this summer! And I can't justify buying them clothes they are just going to destroy. I stayed up really late a couple of Sunday's ago cutting out clothes to make them for the summer. My goal is to sew some shorts a few times a week while also working on Easter dresses for the girls. Well, that was my goal. Now I've only got 2 weeks left until Easter and I haven't even printed out the pattern for the Easter dresses yet! 

I did get 23 things cut out to sew. 2 tank tops (I want to see how they turn out before I cut out a ton of them from the pattern) and 21 pairs of shorts. I need to find a good pattern for TJ a shirt as well. I don't really like tanks on boys so I want an easy t-shirt pattern for him. 

Here is a pic of everything cut out. The post-its are so I can keep track them separated by size.
And here is TJ modelling the 1 pair I've already made. I actually am doing a pair for each of the girls out of this same fabric. I'm going for just below the knees. These are a bit longer than I meant, but summer is still several months away- Plus, I think they're very cute at this length also!

  1. It's really amazing how quick those kiddos grow. I put a pair of pants on Lyndon Friday and now they make a nice pair of shorts...and I didn't have to do a thing! Good luck with all your projects!
