Lately I have been working on putting together a few things for baby E's fall wardrobe.
My boys are officially B.O.Y.S. and they live in camo pants and super hero t-shirts.
Perfectly okay by me, because this year I get to play dress up with my new baby doll!!
{and isn't she a doll}
I mean I could kiss those cheeks all day... and I do :)
Let me tell you about this outfit!
The onesie was not anything special and I actually had to remove a small rose from the front.
Other that that it was simple and plain, which makes for a great canvas!
The red material was a old, thin sweater that I cut to make the heart applique, skirt, and headband.
By using the already finished seams for the hem of the skirt and ruffles, it cut down on a lot of sewing time and I was able to make more per minute :)
{3 kiddos has really cut down on my sewing time, nobody warned me!!}
Tricks to sewing on a skirt::
use the elastic bobbin thread to allow for stretch and use a zigzag stitch
{brother surprised her and stole kiss}
{baby leg warmers 75 cents at consignment, boo-yah}
{used a zigzag stitch around the heart and to attached the skirt}
{who doesn't love a flower on a baby's head!}
{flip that skirt up and you find ruffles on her cute baby bum}
More to come... I actually made 3 outfits in an afternoon for her.
I hope to play dress up again and get more pictures!


I'm in love with the outfit! And that cutie filling it up doesn't hurt either :) Another leg warmer trick (Kelle Hampton from kellehampton.com uses it for her girls) is to use childrens long or adult long socks. Cut the feet out of them, hem the bottoms, & you've got instant leg warmers.
