The Perfect Coordinates Outfit Tutorial

Hey everyone, I'm back ! This time with a double tutorial ! I'm calling it the perfect coordinates outfit because i think it's a perfect way to showcase 2 coordinating fabrics.

                                                                                                         

The top is easy to get on a wiggly body and has no buttons, zippers or any other kinds of closures. It simply knots at the top. 

The shorts have a flat front ,an elastic back and shirred legs....and of course an extra cute bow in the front. It only took a yard of my main fabric and a quarter of coordinating fabric to make.The pattern is in size 6-9 months.

Enjoy these free patterns and tutorial after the jump 

Thrifty Look #2 Fresh Prince

As i was rummaging through the racks at the thrift store I found a "swisshy" suit straight from the 90's. I remeber seeing old pictures of myself with a pink and purple one lol. Everyone had a "swisshy" suit in the 90's. It reminded me of "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air " so I had to have it. I was so happy when i seen it was juju's size and even happier when i seen the price. I paid $4 for the suit. Its my favorite thrift store find right now....next to the brown shoes that go with everything lol.

The Fat Quarter Top Tutorial

Please excuse my teething model :)

So just about everyone that sews ...or attempts to sew has a fat quarter lying around somewhere. I wanted to try to make something other than a tote and wearable. I came up with this one shoulder top. It's easy to slip on my wiggling 9 month old and is perfect for the upcoming summer. The best thing about this is Joanns sometimes runs a 99 cent sale on fat quarters which makes this top not only cute but cheap lol.

All you need is a fat quarter and one package of bias tape. And of course all other basic supplies. So lets get started.

The Modern Hippie Pants Tutorial

Generation Next

     Im sure im not the only one frustrated at the clothing choices out there for kids . I hate going into large retail stores and buying a $20 pair of pants. Only to try to squeeze them on my kids, the next month and they wont even button. Kids out grow things to quickly to spend a lot of money their clothing.

     Last summer I decided I would take it anymore. I brought a sewing machine and got to work. Through blogs, lots of google searches and hours on pinterest I have taught myself how to sew. Now I feel like im at a place to help others. I love being able to make the kids things. In this blog I will share my sewing knowledge (funny joke) and offer free patterns with picture tutorials. I will also show you how thrifting can be fun and very worth it. I love going thrifting !!
