A few more of the girlies together. I love when they match and luckily so does Chloe. The easiest way to get her to wear something is to buy or make a matching set for Marley. I'm sure we'll both tire of this soon but in the meantime....
I don't often get any shots of the girls together. As well documented, one of them is usually undressed or too grumpy for photos. Here's some that aren't great but at least they're clothed and relatively happy. Yes, Chloe is dressed as a cowgirl in some of them....
Yes, it's a month late. I had made a skirt set for Hunter's birthday in March but apparently it was more of a sausage casing and she couldn't walk in it. So I tried another one with a matching set for Chloe including little headbands. I didn't see Hunter in it so I dont' know if it fits but Chloe likes hers. It has the cutest little bikes on it...
Ah, how time flies. Little Marley is already six months. Here's a few shots of her being six months on the weekend. They look the same as the ones of her being five months from a month ago.
I'm not sure how many peasant blouses chloe needs but I have this thing where I like to make a pattern 3 times to really get it. So here's the second and third little tops I made her. She actually wears these because they're easy to get on. They're easy to make so I love them but i used cheap broadcloth for the blue border on one of them and it looks kind of strange.... The pink one is a different pattern that was torture because of the ties on it. Who knew ties could be such a drag? She picked the fabric though so she actually wears it. Is this turning into a sewing blog?
Another cute Etsy shop. I fell in love with these T-shirt dresses. I have ordered lots, they're great for kids to run in but still feel twirly. Chloe would never wear this one because she thought people would laugh at the rooster (what? rooster's are so cool!). Finally convinced her to put it on and she got lots of compliments so maybe she'll work it into the rotation of ugly sweat pants and tank tops that she seems to favor. By the way, I didn't ask her to make a mad face, this is just Chloe being Chloe. Luckily it works for photos. Her shop is here.
Another cute shop from Etsy. I ordered this coat a while ago but it didnt' fit Chloe properly. It fits now with a tank top and it's so cute. I wish I could make these. It's reversible too, how great is that? I've ordered other stuff from her as well and the quality is awesome. All Chloe's little pinafores are from here. Her shop is here.
Chloe had a haircut at Beaners yesterday. I got talked into the 'girls package' which meant curls, braids and sparkles. You know, all that girlie crap. Seemed like a good time to take some photos.
I love making baby clothes. It's so fun to cut a tiny little bit of fabric and make pants....it's so cute. It's hard to find fabric to make things for little boys but I loved this Heather Ross fabric with gnomes on it. I made a lounge suit and a few burp cloths for baby Vaelan. Also a few shots of the first peasant shirt I made for Chloe. As you can see she actually seemed to enjoy wearing it. She likes things that are easy to get on so elastic necks are perfect for her.
I managed to get a few good shots of Chloe last week without any cheesy grins, thumbs up or coy poses. She did strike a tree pose a few times but that's just her inner yogi.
I made another lounge suit for Marley. Did I mention we like to lounge in this house? This one was really easy and the fabric was super cheap so i like it even more. The little kimono top is a pattern from my new favorite book: Bend the Rules Sewing. Marley modeling her new wears. The cute top is handmade by Niki.
