I smiled to read how Olive loves what you sew over what you'd buy to clothe her. Mine are that way too, at least with costumes. They don't care either way with regular clothes, except for the fit. Store-bought always needs an adjustment, they say. So yes, I treasure these years, too, when Mom-made is cool to these little ones. I figure if I play it right (like painstakingly avoid sewing hideous clothes), they will think I'm cool enough to do their wedding gowns for them some day down the road.

My mom did long pants with matching stuffed fins attached that went over my shoes out of a bright, mint bed skirt she found at goodwill. The top was out of the same material plus some other pretty fabrics. Modest too and I felt like the prettiest person in the world that day! I'm sure those girls feel the same.

Love the colors too and they're perfectly appropriate for little gals without sacrificing the mermaid intent. Funny, I read your post earlier and thought I was wrong because I called them godets (which I had to look up when I made a dress with them once), and now I come back and see you edited. Hehe.

Short sleeved, kind of a basic t-shirt silhouette, but, wow, the fabric! Green eyelet, but the eyelets were little leaves, all pieced together.<br /><br />Did you make the top? Can you give me any sort of leads on the source for that beautiful fabric?<br /><br />Thanks so much!A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18224379664165606841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162868398041347638.post-13757037120848197522012-10-30T21:30:21.831-04:002012-10-30T21:30:21.831-04:00Very sweet mermaids!

If you need a good sew-nerd kind of chuckle today, my mother asked me (she of unflagging faith) to transform a handkerchief hem dress with two GIANT gussets into a regular hem. I tried to give it back to her several times, but she wouldn't budge. We measured up from the floor and pinned, but they didn't seem all that consistent. So I laid it out like a circle skirt and cut. I'm sure you can imagine how well that worked.
