Sewing time

Since we’ve been home I’ve been trying to get some much needed sewing done for myself and the kids. I started out just working hard to get some things made for Elizabeth. We’d gotten some fabric last fall that had Strawberry Shortcake all over them. I finally got her clothes cut out and sewn up. It is really cool to be able to make Strawberry Shortcake clothes for her since my Mom made clothes for me out of Strawberry Shortcake fabric when I was a little girl! I was able to make two little shirts for Elizabeth along with some cullottes, two shirts and cullottes for one niece and two little rompers for my other niece. They all turned out so cute! Since I sort of expanded my project from two outfits to 6 it took me a little longer to finish. But we’ll give them to the other little girls next week. Now I’m trying to make pajamas for everyone. Esther, my sister, came over the other day and helped me cut out shorts for the boys and I still need to cut out and make some pajamas for Elizabeth. God has provided a bunch of fabric for me to use for this. It’s fun to pull it out and have things to use to make clothes that my kids need.
