…of dressing my girls the same!
These skirts were super easy to make and I had a lot of fun going to my fabric pile and pulling what I liked. I figured Ellie is still young that she would think it’s fun she and her sister have similar skirts. I’m just glad she is willing to pose for a photo and wear something handmade. There is such an emphasis on WHERE you buy your clothes and I am glad she has not paid too much attention to it.
I’m sure a lot can relate to a growing list of “to do’s”. There is so much I want to make, but there is so much I want to do with my kids too. Now that the weather is warming up and we are outside more, my “crafting” time is becoming obsolete. How do some of you manage it? I have fun sewing, but I also want to paint more…I also want to begin a “stitching” project because I loved what I did this past Fall…I know it’s a nice problem with so many things in my head, but I’m beginning to think it is a sickness!

I love how you’ve matched the differents fabrics together – Did you use a pattern of your own ?

I dress my daughters alike many days, and they love it! Believe it or not I’ve actually pieced together matching outfits from multiple trips to various thrift stores. I’ll find one piece, then a few weeks later I’ll find the matching piece in the other size. I also like to sew for them, but it’s not something I get enough time to do. Sometimes it’s just easier to pick up something cute at the thrift store and alter it, like applique some printed fabric onto a premade shirt, or add a ruffle to a skirt.
Here’s my current favorite shot of my girls dressed alike:
