Tis the Season…

December 21, 2009 By crafterhours 8 Comments

…for matchy sibling Christmas outfits!

First, some cute casual skirts for everyday holiday attire:
What I wouldn’t have done for some mini ric rac, but I had to make do with that ribbon instead (and it doesn’t even really match.  You got the part about how we’re 4000 miles from the nearest Joann’s, right?)  I did enjoy using my rolled-hem foot for the first time though.
And the Christmas dresses:

The main body fabric is a fine wale cream stretch corduroy.  I really love the soft feel of it, and stretch is pretty important for two active toddlers.
Here is a blooper from our Christmas card photo shoot that shows the dresses off (but unfortunately not the kiddos):
In case you didn’t recognize them, these dresses are the same as these.  Remember when I said I could make only this pattern for the rest of my life and not get bored?  I wasn’t kidding.  The sleeve cuff on Z’s dress was made partially with this tutorial.

    These are some wonderful ideas! Just as I thought I would skip the “Christmas Pinafores” that I had on my list since October… I’m making the skirts THIS evening! Thanks!

    You did a rolled hem on the skirts? I am still learning about my serger (it is a hand me down form my cousin who lives an 1/5 hours away, so no help from her). Does the fabric have to be pretty lightweight to roll the hem?

    They look so lovely in them. The matching fabric reminds me of my childhood. My aunt used to make different designs with the same fabric for my sister, my niece, and me during Chinese New Year.
