Old Rompers to New Shirts

We bought these rompers for my daughter and within weeks, she grew out of them.. She's very tall for her age. I didn't want to get rid of them because they were barely used so I just fixed them!
All I did was cut and hem. That's it! Now she has 2 new shirts. This is the kind of easy sewing projects that are good for a busy mom :)

Girl's Ruffle Top

OK, so I will not be giving a step-by-step on how I did this because I had to change my plan while working {this fabric is really hard to work with..} and I actually did a pretty sloppy job. But it's OK because it turned out all right and maybe if you do something similar, you'll be more organized then I was :) I used these 2 onesies and some hot pink scraps from another project.

I added the ruffles {this took forever and a day} ;)

Then finally after way too much time spent of this one project, it was DONE! :)

Valentine's Day Outfits

Holidays are a great excuse to make cute outfits then take a million pictures of your kids in them! ;) This year I have a goal to make all the kid's holiday outfits and it all starts with V-Day!

It's been a couple years since I've sewn anything so I'm just getting the hang of it again.. The next time I do this I think I will just do a straight stitch.. The zig-zag one was not working as well as I wanted.. Anyhow, here's what I did! :)

First, I figured out what shapes I wanted for the kids. I went with a "heart" for my daughter and a "tie" for my son. Then I cut out the patterns.
Then I used my cut-outs to cut my fabric.
{This fabric is actually from an old t-shirt from last Valentine's Day}

I pinned the cut fabric to the onezies and started sewing. It was harder then I thought {remember, I'm new at this again} but I got the job done :) See what I mean! All done and ready for the kids :)

I love the tie! You're defiantly going to be seeing more of that this year :)
