Old Neck tie to baby boy bow tie

My 53rd completed sewing project for 2009!





My dad gave me some of his old neckties to make ties and bow ties for Zephyr. This was one of the ties he gave me. I thought it would make a nice looking bowtie to go with Zephyr's black slacks and vest. I thought my little boy looked very daper at church today wearing his new bow tie.

Batik Bow Tie

My 52nd completed sewing project for 2009!

Ben has a bow tie that was made out of a fabric that looks like a yellow batik with a black pattern.  I was looking through my stash and realized that I had a fabric that look very similar to Ben's bow tie, and if I was careful how I cut out Zephyr's bow tie it would look almost the same.  Zephyr got a lot of compliments at church about having a matching bow tie with his Papi, so it was a success.

(as a side note these pictures of Zephyr were taken after church, and he was screaming hungry)

Baby Doll Jeans

My 50th and 51st completed sewing projects for 2009!

Atticus and Little Ella didn't have pants to match their cute little monkey shirts that the kids are wearing, so I decided I better rectify the situation, especially since it is 15 days past my due date and I need to find things to keep me busy.  So now they both have cute little jeans to wear with their monkey shirts when we take our little baby boy out for the first time.
