I've been busy...


First of all, I made this cute skirt for Kate's Valentine's Day outfit. Then I cut out and appliqued a matching heart to a plain white t-shirt. I just happened to have a brown with pink polka dots ribbon for some trim, and it perfectly matched her little shoes! I am so pleased with how this turned out! This skirt is actually the 2nd "Market Skirt" that I have made for Kate using the tutorial found on MADE. There's a link to this website on the left sidebar...go check it out; Dana is amazing and I've learned so much from her! Like how to turn a men's dress shirt into this:
I call this her Seaside Dress; it's so amazingly sweet. However, in an attempt to make it fit Kate and not a 3 year old, I made it a wee bit too snug. By the time summer rolls around Kate won't let me put this on her again. So sad; but, I have a little friend who's the perfect size for this dress to give it to!


And then I picked up some sweet striped fabric on the clearance shelf at Jo-Ann's and decided to try making Kate a summer tank...


Not my favorite thing, but it's not bad. It will be cute in the summer with some white shorts and sandals! Next I picked up two $1.25 t-shirts at Target and...
Under one of them I attached a Market Skirt to make a fun playtime dress, plus sewn-on buttons to match on the pocket. I call this the ice-cream dress, and it's for a 2-3 year old. (Thanks to Olivia for modeling it for me!)
And my absolute favorite idea this month? Kate's new logo: K8. Awesome, right? I wish I had a logo too! I plan on putting this on all her tags in her clothes. And just try and stop me from making one of these shirts for her in every color!!
