mama-made!!

I was able to make Ellie a few new things

to add to her wardrobe this weekend!

I love a cute "mama made" outfit!! (I mean top!)

&

Taking photos of an almost 15 mo. old = BLURRY!!! :)

this girl is on the go!

I found a small scrap of this blue calico print fabric at goodwill

knowing I could at least make something Ellie sized out of it!

I didn't have a pattern so I just winged it (wung it???),

figuring out what it would become as I went.

(She's not upset in the above pic, just cheesin' it up for the camera!)

I decided on a simple top with some fun ties over the shoulders!

Pair it with a matching cloth diaper and you've got a summer outfit!

It doubles as a skirt actually

if you untie the straps and tuck them in!

Don't worry, we'll put a shirt with it when we're out in public :)

I also made a pinafore using a pattern from my friend's etsy shop!

Check her out to get your own pinafore pattern or other great stuff!!

She's got cute stuff for your littles to wear!

I love how the straps cross in the back

and that Ellie can wear it in

warm weather with even just a diaper or shorts

or even cooler weather

if I layer it over long sleeves and leggings!

Plus! It's REVERSIBLE!! :)

I think I'll be making several more!

It might become her summer "uniform"!!

Where did those chubby legs go? :(

And her arm roll creases are almost gone too!

Welcome to toddler hood, sweet girl!!
