1- I wanted Gabe and Isabelle (and now new baby girl) to have coordinating outfits for different events and I had a hard time finding them at stores without having to hit the boutiques.
2- I wanted Isabelle and her female cousins to have some matching dresses and it was nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find matching dresses in their varying sizes (now 2T to almost 6).
3- Football season is around the corner and it is hard to buy NFL clothes for kids that aren't really expensive.
4- It is fun to make baby outfits for people and then give them a matching burp cloth or something like that with the extra material.
5- It is helping me keep my sanity as I stay home with the kids all day. I can whip out these outfits in 2 nap-times or in a couple of evenings (sometimes these evening sewing times get very late!!)
Have you thought some of the thoughts that I listed above? Is there an occasion coming up for which you would like kids in your life to have some cute outfits (especially some matching or coordinating ones for different kids)? If so, then I would be happy to make some for you! I am posting pictures of the patterns I use and the outfits I have made from them so you can look at them and see if you would like me to make them for you.
I am not trying to start a sewing business here, folks! :) Sewing as a business demands so much skill and time that I don't have! I won't neglect my greater priorities at home of being a wife, mom, and homemaker for sewing. I am just trying to supplement my sewing budget a little bit and meet a need I have seen out there for affordable matching outfits for boys and girls of varying ages. If you come upon a need or a desire to have some matching outfits (or single outfits), I am happy to help you and my sewing budget out!
Thanks for taking time to look at what I have done. The variations on each outfit are endless so if you see something and have an idea for tweaking it, let me know! I will see what I can do!
