For my girls

For my girls this year I wanted to make them pajamas. They turned out okay. But I literally didn't have the time to do anything else. It's amazing these got done in time for our mini vacation.

My older daughter is always putting my shirts on. This particular shirt I never wore. So I took it in, added some hearts and a cute aplique. And now it's her nightgown.
Pretty simple, pretty cute.
My youngest daughter got pants and a shirt. I took an old pair of my jammie pants. (That I got for Valentines Day YEARS ago.) And turned them into jammie pants for her. Added four layers of ruffles...which looks A LOT cuter on. And paired it with a wal-mart shirt. I added the cute hearts..and Viola. Valentine jammies for my girls.

Halloween Shirt

I just realized, a week or so ago, that my 3 year old doesn't have any Halloween shirts! I looked through her clothes and noticed a plain white shirt that she NEVER wears. So I transformed it!

It was actually really easy. All I did was iron on some heat and bond on the back of a scrap of suede cloth. On the paper backing of the heat and bond I drew a spider web. I used a separate piece for the string and spider. I cut out all the negative pieces and viola, I have an applique. I ironed it on the shirt where I thought it looked best, and topstitched it down. I love how the web turned out. As I was cutting, I noticed that the lines were far from perfect. But I love how it adds spookiness to the look.
