There's been another couple of finished projects here this week and I'm feeling very happy with them. I've finally started using the vintage sheets I've been collecting and came up with some summer pyjamas for Sarah and Alice. We went with 3/4 bottoms for the many mild Tassie evenings but we've talked about making a pair of shorts as well for variety and hot nights. They chose the fabric they wanted and the shape of the applique. Rather thrifty too - the plain t-shirts were $4.80 at Big W. You've got to love that!
Now, ignoring the creased t-shirt, I think they look rather cute. Sarah told me she is so proud to have such a sustainable Mummy! (Science has been her favourite this year!)
Now ignore the weeds in the paving - aaahhhhh!
Alice is enjoying our Pierre de Ronsard rose now that it's flowering - how cute does she look?
Alice's applique you might ask? Well, she wanted a love heart and that's what she got, but at this time it was sporting a tomato-based stain from dinner. Will share that another day!
Now that we're having some lovely, warm and sunny evenings the girls are loving going outside after their bath or shower. This was a favourite thing for me growing up. The promise of a play on the trampoline in a nighty has worked wonders getting the twins into the bath! And a play before dinner, or between dinner and bedtime, is working wonders in burning up the last of their energy before bedtime.
Oh, I do love summer and daylight savings!
So too, I love realising that all the girls are wearing 'Mummy made' clothes in this photo.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Oh well done! The girls look lovely in their new nighties and pjs. I think that's just what I need this summer.
ReplyDeleteGinni We love your blog site. It is a great way for faraway grandparents to learn what is happenning in their loved ones lives. We love the pyjamas. Excellent work. You were born to be a mother and homemaker. Love Bev and John.
