Micha - 15yo His head is above the top of the armoire now! 
Terran - 13yo Couldn't find his long sleeved shirt, but a handsome fellow nonetheless. 
Jeremiah - 10yo Hard to get a serious look out of the boy ;) 
I don't get to make clothes for the boys much anymore. I never did master pants with zippers, ....but now we get to the dresses which I enjoyed making very much. :) Each little girl got a purple pettidress with a collar and then a white on white something over the top. ;) Elisabeth - 9yo I was looking for something more grown up and finally settled on this simple white on white vest. The left side of the vest has bead work and ribbon flowers sewn on to bring out the vine-y pattern of the fabric. 
Julihannah - 7yo Juli got a round yoke pinafore with angel sleeves. I've made this style for my website before, but this time I did it all in white on white - white piping stems instead of green and white sheer ribbon roses and leaves added to the stems. I think this is my favorite of the Easter dresses this year. 
Abigail - 5yo Fancy and frilly like my fancy little girl. It started out like a simple jumper and then I got to the skirt and went a little nuts. I started out with patchwork squares in tiers, all different whites, different textures, bits of laces and ribbons added here and there. Fun! But I got down to the third tier and realized I would need at LEAST three more to get the length I needed and I didn't have that kind of time. So I searched through my stash and found a piece of chenille I'd been saving for something special and pieces of broad eyelet lace. I added those and a nice deep ruffle of white on white fabric, and voila! A drama queen gown for my little drama queen! ;) 
Amanda - 2yo I decided on a petal skirt for my little flower fairy. White eyelet seemed a sweet choice for fabric. Then I created a little flower and a caterillar out of buttons on the bodice just for fun. :) 
Emilie - 5 1/2mo So finally, there came little Emilie, and I was out of inspiration and quickly running out of time. I finally asked Mike to see if he could find a little lavender sleeper and I could either make her a white dress quick, or if worse came to worst, she could wear her white dress from Christmas again. He couldn't even find a lavender sleeper except for the fuzzie jammie type, so he came home with a cute white sleeper covered with little purple hearts. The best part was the adorable little feet of the sleeper were made to look like ballet shoes! Finally, I had the inspiration I needed. :) Saturday evening, I whipped up a little jumper with crisscrossed lace on the bodice and a pieced lace "tutu" style skirt for her to wear over her new sleeper. :)  |
