Here is what I came up with for our Christmas photos. I decided to go with the easy and quick again. I think this is the only way I'm going to get them all into handmade clothing at the same time. For the boys I used the Tee for Two Pattern by
Pattern's by Figgy's. It's a raglan style shirt and you can sew these up in about 15 minutes after you get a little practice with the neckline. I change my neckline a little each time as well. With these I doubled over the finished edge to make it more narrow and give it a cleaner seam. The Christmas robot embroidery patterns on the front came from
Urban Threads. That is a great site if you are looking for unusual embroidery!
For Madeline's dress It's just a rectangle folded in half and sewn together along the side. I then folded the top down 6" and shirred. For the sleeves I attached two rectangles to the top and shirred 4 rows. I added the bows because It was a little plain without them.
I took photos for an hour and this is the best I got for our Christmas card! Oh well, we are still getting lots of wear out of these.
I was told I could never pull off this polka dot fabric for boys. I have to admit it concerned me a little but I really wanted them to wear some color for a change. What do you think? Can boys wear polka dots?
