I'm sorry. I'm at it again. This sewing malarky has got me hooked. I have officially completed the sewing trifecta.....homeware, accesories and now clothing!! I made a skirt for Miss Bel and it's the cutest thing I've ever seen her wear (except maybe those adorable Huckleberry Fin-esque dungarees of hers!) I used a free pattern from Oliver and S and whipped it up one evening when Neil was on nights and the kiddies were tucked up in bed. I used some fabric from ikea (notice any repetitiveness about my fabric choices) and a bit of ribbon I found in my cupboard for the trim. Belly loves it! And I love that she loves it! Her favorite thing about this skirt is that it's perfect for a bit of this....
Hehe! Nothing like a good skirt for twirling is there!
Here's a closer look, cause I just know you are dying to hear more and more about my sewing!! If you look closely you'll see my trademark wonky stitching.

I've already ordered some cuter fabric with her next skirt in mind! Oh and Miss Molly, there's one on it's way to you as we speak! It even has less of the wonky stitching :)
I'm not really sure how I'll be able to start making clothes for Seb. His preference for clothing usually resembles outfits such as this one.......
And I think this might be a bit beyond my skill level right now.
(Yes, Bel is the dog and Seb is the dog walker in this pic.)
Things have been a little stressful in our household this week for reasons that I don't even want to think about let alone discuss. I just wanted to add that my new found distraction of sewing and the happiness and smiles that my lovelies bring to me every day make it all seem so insignificant. I'm so lucky to have such an amazing family.
:)
I love you monkeys and sometimes even you too monster....
