Jerel and I sure got some cute kids! It makes it even more fun to make things for them. Sewing for Zay is a bit trickier because so many handmade things are girly, but occasionally I come up with something suitable. This was the first pair of jeans he wore a hole through.

You can't see it in the pictures, but the whales are sewn on with a decorative contrasting stitch in red. Jeans with a hole + $3.88 walmart shirt:
And here's what I did for Eliza today. A couple of my old shirts from the short-and-wide-shirts-are-in-style period of several years ago turned into a ruffly skirt, matching diaper cover, and coordinating hair clips:
