Summer Sewing

For those of you who know me, you know that I love to be creative. Most of the time that involves sewing things for my sweet Hannah. Since I don't have much time to sew during the school year, I always sew double time during the summer. For the past couple of years, I have been making Hannah some Twirly skirts. This year I found a pattern that I LOVE with a drop waist. I would give a tutorial on here but I am not very good at that so I will just attach the links that I found the patterns on. The first skirt is a drop waist twirly skirt. I got this pattern from a blog called Just Deanna. This skirt turned out so cute. I was a little unsure about the fabrics, because there is very little orange in the print fabric, but I just love it!

I loved it so much I decided I needed to make some hair accessories. I wish I could pull off a headband like that! The flower tutorial came from a blog called anniescupboards. The middle of the flower I just played around with. you could also just put a button in the middle.

So when this skirt turned out so cute, I had to make about 5 more right? They are all pretty much the same just different fun fabrics.

Again with the flower hairbows, this time with buttons

These hairbows didn't turn out like I wanted them to, but they are cute enough.

This pattern is a little different, it is called a three tiered skirt that I got off of kuky ideas. The tutorial is a little harder because it requires a little algebra. Very basic! The thing that is good about this one is that you can make it for any size child with a few measurements.

Kool Aid for Sale

Hannah woke up this morning with huge plans for the day. She decided she was going to make some extra money (I thought you had to have money to make extra money :) ) The way she was going to do this was to sell makeup. When I questioned her about where she was going to get the makeup to sell, she reassured me that she wasn't actually going to sell the makeup, but she was going to do make overs on people and charge them for it. After a couple of hours of organizing and sitting out in the sun she decided that make overs is not a very lucrative business. So she came up with plan #2... Kool-Aid. Why didn't I think of that? When her and her friend were in making signs I asked them how much they were going to charge for their kool-aid to which Hannah responds $4 because I know how to write a 4. You Go Girl!!

Who wouldn't want to buy Kool-Aid from these cute girls?

You have to make sure that everything is just perfect!
