Kiddies Christmas Tidbits

I have been up to my eyeballs with little sewing projects for the kids.  J needed black pants for his Christmas show at school.   I found some incredible black fabric at the ReUse Centre.   



 

The fabric has a tight weave and is shiny, giving a more dressy feel to the pants.  I found this wonderful sewing blog, packed with tutorials with easy instructions.  I used the flat front pants tutorial.  It's like it sounds: flat in the front, elastic in the back.

 G picked up these black shoes at Value Village for $4 and gave them a shine with some black shoe polish.  Good as new! 

Now onto my little projects for the girls:

Sooooooooooo fun!!!!  Wheeeeeeeeee!  My heart was singing as I put these together!  I singed the edges of each fabric circle - lots of great youtube videos on how to do this.  I covered the first hairband with black - a bit fiddly.  The purple one came like that so I was glad!  Oh, and by the way, this fabric too, came from the ReUse centre.  I love that place!
