Christmas Play Dresses

I decided to break in my early Christmas present (a new Bernina sewing machine!) and make Lila some simple pillowcase dresses for Christmas time.



I followed this tutorial from aestheticnest.com, but there are a LOT of tutorials for pillowcase dresses available.  Lila got one long one with Christmas trees...

...And one short one with people Christmas shopping.

My plan is to make an apron for myself out of this same fabric.  And if Johnny is lucky, there might just be enough for a bow tie. Matching family!  I can't wait to hear what teenage Lila will think of it.

Leg Warmers

Now that Lila is getting close to crawling (if only she could figure out how to get her tum tum off the floor), I really wanted to get her some leg warmers to protect her little knees.  I've looked at Target and Zullily and have been surprised with how much baby leg warmers are ($10...psh).  So I went looking around Pinterest and found this AMAZING tutorial.  Once you get the hang of them, these leg warmers only take five minutes to make and only cost $2.50.

We have polka dot ones...



 And cheetah ones...

And stripey ones!

Pay no attention to the dead plants behind the curtain.
