Summer is here!

Summer has definitively arrived to Houston. The days are getting really hot so the kids are in desperate need of light clothes. This means that I need to get my hands on new fabric and produce new clothes!! Also, we will be going to Portugal next month on vacation and I need to get their summer wardrobe done really fast! 

Last week I managed to sew Teresa a blouse and a skirt. I really love how they turned out. 

I think this outfit totally defines my style. I prefer loose fit tops (that is why you won´t see many knits around here) and I love skirts and dresses (though I admit that shorts are much better to play). Finally, I prefer light colors to dark ones (won't see much black around here... ;-).

GIRLY PANTS

 

I have been feeling really tired in the past few weeks and though I have acquired many new patterns recently, I haven't got the energy to print them, glue them, cut them so I can finally cut the fabric. I really love to sew, but those preliminaries are just way too boring! So, when I am really in the mood to sew but not at all in the mood to cut patterns, I simply use a pattern that has already been tested. And so I made my third version of Oliver and S' After School Pants! So far this is my favorite pattern for girl pants.
