It's good to have a mom who sews.

This little showcase is brought to you by:
my mom.


She made an adorable outfit for mini that I just can't help sharing.

She didn't use a pattern for the skirt, just made it up as she went along.

I love the pocket with the HUGE button!

And possibly my favorite part - the elastic casing has contrasting fabric on the inside!  It's those little details that make me happy.

I also love that she covered a button with the skirt fabric to tie it into the shirt more.

Have I mentioned that I love covered buttons?  (and buttons in general)


Obviously, mom needs to come over here and do some tutorials for us all.  (hint, hint.)


Are you wondering why this outfit is being displayed flat on the table for the purposes of this post?  Everyone knows clothing looks better on a model, right?  Plain and simple -  UNCOOPERATIVE MODEL.


You will most likely be seeing a lot more clothes on the table modeling from me - this little thing is a big time drama queen.  Don't believe me?


Here's the whole process:

started out ok, but a little wiggly.  Which means blurry pictures.

She is actually giggling here.  Which is great, except you can't see the outfit at all.

Throw in the glow worm.  Maybe she'll sit up and play...

Finally on her feet, almost a clear shot.

"Why must you do this to me??"

She's about to blow,  I can tell.

And here she goes!

"This is the most awful thing you've ever done to me!"

"Oh.  I'm fine.  Thanks, Daddy!"

"What??  You're putting me down again?"

"I refuse to stand!  Do you hear me?!  REFUSE!"

"Oh, the humiliation!  All I can do is hide my head.  And scream."

"Save me!  Save me!"


The End
