I got started on my kids Valentine's outfits. They are getting their pictures taken on Saturday morning, and yesterday I came up with the great idea of making them matching "somethings" for their pictures.
The problem with that is there is such a big age gap.
2 and 9. Boy and Girl.
What do you make for a boy and a girl?
Well...
I had this very pretty damask fabric. It's not super girly, right? I actually have it in pink and red!
Yay for preparedness!
So I was trying to decide if I wanted to do a tie shirt, or a tie itself...I decided on a real tie.
How handsome.
I found this super great tutorial at
I printed it out and got started. And then I figured out that I'm not much of a hand sewer. :(
In fact...
I kinda dislike it intensely.
Good thing I don't have to make a bunch of these ties!
Maybe Easter...and Christmas
(I could always re-use this one)
I put the pink on the inside...looks pretty cute if you ask me! (I know you didn't, and I'm not sure if I care.) :P
He's going to look super cute in his pictures.
Mohawk and all! He looks like Puck on Glee
(my favorite character)
Shhh, don't tell anyone. :)
Tomorrow I will post my daughters shirt
After I finish it... :)
How fun and festive!
