Like most you today, we are a little strapped for cash and birthdays seem to come every week in the summer! So instead of running our account dry on buying gifts for all those little and big ones, I have decided to start making gifts!
This is one of the more fun parts I think, sewing on button holes! This little button hole foot makes it so easy to sew and cut a button hole!
Almost finished by this point, sewing the bottom (skirt) to the top, button down shirt part.
And the finished product! The buttons are little flowers, which I thought was a cute touch to add!
And a good thing about this pattern is I can make button down shirts for Lilah! This is a multi-use pattern, which is great because there are so many options to use! This will come in handy when I need to start to make more or alter some of her clothes!
WOW, great job! I know I need to learn how to sew for Anaïs in the future!
ReplyDeleteSheri!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool you know how to sew! Great Work! That is something I need to learn to do! It will save me big bucks with Caden's alterations!
Great idea. I will soon have to do it for Destiny. It is hard to learn? The little dress looks like hard work. How long did it take you too learn?
ReplyDeleteHow cute!! I wish I was that talented with my sewing machine! I know what you mean - we have a ton of spring and summer birthdays in our family and the gifts add up quickly.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I am so jealous. I wish I knew how to sew. I pay a fortune every fall for the tailor to hem Preston's pants. I just love that dress----you should sell them!
