As I mentioned in the post about my boys’ Christmas bow ties, these posts are my favorite projects of the year, but if I had to pick a very favorite between the boys and girls outfits, well… Of course the girls always win! I’m sharing all about the DIY girls’ pinafore dresses that I made for Hattie and Lola for Christmas, one of which is a first look of an upcoming pattern I’m working on, and the other is an upcoming pinafore dress tutorial I’ll be sharing here soon!

It may be a week or so into the new year, but today I’m going to back up just a bit so I can share some of what are always my favorite sewing projects of the year, my kids’ handmade Christmas outfits.

One of my very most favorite things to do every Christmas is to sew my kids Christmas outfits and take photos of them. I typically make at least one of my sons a Schoolboy Vest, and often a bowtie or two, but this year I focused on my girls and went shopping for the boys (with one small exception I’ll explain below). It was actually really fun getting to concentrate on my girls, and I’m planning to share free patterns for both of their dresses soon! [Read more…]
