So, I haven't decided for sure what all I'm going to do but I thought I'd share the ideas I'm toying with and then keep updating as I actually get some of the sewing done. I'd like to make at least one thing for all the kids and possibly a dress for myself as well.
I also am going to try to use patterns I already have and haven't sewn yet. So..here's what I'm thinking right now:
Boys - I'm thinking I'll do a Streamline Tee and The Canaan's Incredible Blazer with jeans for one boy (isn't that blazer just too cute?!?! I love it! I'm thinking maybe a thick sweatshirt fleece for it and then a fun contrasting hood lining. Or maybe I'll make it without the hood and add a hood to my streamline... Hmm...decision, decisions! Oh! Or maybe I'll make a Henley to put under it instead of the raglan tee. Hmmm... Ok, clearly I still have some thinking to do on that one!)
Then for the other boy maybe some Metropolitan Pants (probably upcycled from men's dress pants) and maybe a Prepster Pullover.
I've had the Pullover pattern forever and still haven't made it. I love it so much though!
Ok, onto the girls! I think Kessa is probably going to get a Mainstree Tee and Dress. I've made the tee version before for Grace but I really like the A-line shape and think it will make a good dress for Kessa now that she's over most of the super filly little girl type clothes.
And...I haven't decided what to do for Grace or me yet. I need to look through the patterns I have and haven't made and try to pick one.
What are you buying/sewing for Easter?

I believe Melly Sews is doing a sew along for the Berkshire Blazer just before Easter :) I've made it twice and love it!

Im in the same boat...although ive bought some fabric I haven't picked out patterns yet. Sad to say my son will probably just get a tie shirt like he normally does. Maybe I should attempt to actually make him a shirt or blazer....hmmmm
Sew cute! I love that blazer! I just wanted you to know that I nominated you for the Liebster Award on my blog! Come check it out! http://www.gyctdesigns.com/2014/03/some-fun-news.html
