Have you ever had an idea that just kept snowballing? Of course you have, you start out heading down one road and before you know it you've created a town. :) Well, this project started out simple enough. My trio of five year olds were headed to a birthday party.
I wanted to make something special for the birthday girl. Truth be told it may have been a bit nervousness about a new environment. This was a little girl that the kiddos met at at co-op and I hadn't even met her mom. So I put together this sweet little purse.
Well, since I already had the material out I though the girls would enjoy having a matching bags. And as luck would have it, I also had enough extra fabric that needed to become skirts. I just love the little bird. It's made of blue felt, with a little orange eye. The legs are done with a wide zig zag stitch. The details are always so much fun. I used a coordinating thread this time and stitched all the projects with a brown tread.
When I saw this picture of my sweet daughter it almost brought tears to my eyes. They do grow quickly. But seriously, is it just me or could my five year old pass for a 10 year old in this picture?
I digress, since I had an outfit
(and matching bags) for the girls I felt compelled to outfit my son too.
What better than a little "problem child" bow tie shirt. LOL (picture fromhttp://breskiblogs.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/problemchild.jpg)
I drew the line on making him a purse, maybe some inequality is good.
As I was wrapping up this project, these little scraps screamed out to become bibs. Oh, the twins look so cute in them!
And there you have it the formation of a sewing snowball.
