It's been so long!

Well, summer is over and school is back on! We had a lot of fun this summer. We mainly stayed home (though we did take a weekend trip to the beach right before school started and it was just what we all needed to recharge our tired batteries.

This summer I started making clothes for the kids. I started with repairing the clothes they had that had holes in it and stains. Covering stains, making shorts or capri shorts. Then I moved on to making skirts from them. Then I added some cute fabric to the bottom of a couple of them. Then I found this beautiful tutorial on a market skirt (Thank you fellow blogger Dana made it!!) and I made a few of them! I plan to make much more for the girls and then do some reverse aplique shirts for the boys. I want to see if I can make shorts and things for them without it looking too "mama made it for me." lol

Here are a couple of pictures of the things I made:

The market skirts I made (I plan to make more! I'll post a picture as soon as I do)

This is my original creation (well, I didn't follow a pattern or anything).

After looking at them a few days I have decided I don't like the length and I plan to shorten them.




Well that's all I have pictures of now! I'll post more later!
