NEW FALL CLOTHES


:::click images to see larger:::
Made some new jumpers for this fall. This one is my favorite.


Left over fabric from the skirts I made last year.

A-line tops with short or 3/4 length sleeves. Long sleeve tshirts to be worn under them.

This one is wool.


It's hard to tell in the photo but the collar has three ruffles.

I decided to make some pants this year. These are corduroy. It's very hard to fin pants that fit Violet because she's a 4t or 5t in height but a 3t in the waist. The pants and jeans I do buy all have the adjustable waist band. However, I have to cinch them in so much that they look all bunchy around her waist. I have yet to hem the length on these. I'm waiting till it's time to wear them.

Apron style dress.

THAT'S A LOT OF KIDS


This was taken last wednesday, the first day back to school for most of the neighborhood kids. We had our big pancake breakfast, thanks to Miss Angie and Mr Mike, before the kids head out to school. Of 16 houses on our street, 14 have kids.
