Will needed a dashing outfit for Gregg's brothers wedding. I really wanted him to have a bow tie and suspenders. I bought the bow tie. For the elasticized suspenders, I used this tutorial and 1 inch wide elastic. And of course, I used the big butt baby pants pattern.
Pattern: big butt baby pants ; size 6-12 months
Fabric: grey baby wale corduroy and orange polka dots from moda
Jane and I liked this blackberry color when we were buying Will's corduroy, so we pulled it for her. I added a cuff on the hem and pockets, because pockets are all the rage with 2 year olds,
Pattern: big butt baby pants and Oliver + S puppet show shorts pocket pattern ; size18-24 months with length added
Fabric: blackberry baby wale corduroy

KCWC: Oliver + S field trip cargo pants
I participated in KCWC a few weeks ago. I really like this challenge and I think this was my 3rd time sewing along. I had 3 projects I wanted to work on during the week. The first up was a pair of cargo pants for Lilly. Sewing pants for Lilly is a personal challenge for me. She doesn't like wearing jeans as they are hard to play in. I totally get it. So last winter I made her two pairs of corduroy and denim chambray pants. They seemed to be comfy and soft but because I made up the pattern from a pair of her fleece pants, the fit was off a bit. This time I used Oliver + S field trip cargo pants pattern. I love love love Oliver + S patterns, this was my 4th time sewing one of their patterns. I just love how easy the instructions are and the finishing touches make the garment look really polished.
Lilly's pocket pants!
Pattern: Oliver + S field trip cargo pants; size 6 with 2 inches added to bottom then a 2 inch hem
Fabric: cotton twill in khaki, Lilly wanted them exactly like the pattern picture
They fit her great and she has a ton of room to grow in these!

Jane's birthday presents
Jane loves strawberries and purses so I made her a strawberry purse inspired by this one for her birthday.
I also loved this apron so I made one for Jane.
Neither of these presents were a big hit with Jane but I still liked making them! And she actually has been using the purse the past few days, so maybe?!
beach robes
My sister came for a visit and bought some beach towels for a lake outing. She couldn't take them home and I decided to turn them into beach/bath robes for Lilly and Jane. I used Made's pattern and 3 towels. Both girls got the 3-4t size but Lilly's was lengthened by 4 inches and I added a bit on to the front.
Lilly loves hers and Jane is bit hit or miss. I love the pattern and think this would make a great baby shower or birthday gift.
