A tutu worthy of Fancy Nancy

I had an old childhood friend contact me with a special assignment. Her daughter was given an assignment at school to dress as her favorite book character. Well right away her daughter knew what she wanted to be, but her Mom needed to figure out the costume. She sent a note asking if there was any way I could make a skirt or tutu that could be worn as part of a Fancy Nancy costume. SURE THING! One purple tutu with a big red bow coming right up ;)

I made it, shipped it, and anxiously waited to hear what her little sweetie thought of it. She jumped for joy when it arrived and couldn't wait to wear it. Her Mom even reported that she didn't want to take it off (Mom was a little concerned it would be ruined by the time the day arrived where it needed to be worn to school...hee hee!).

The big day finally arrived where she got to wear her Fancy Nancy outfit to school and she was so proud of it! Can't you tell by this picture? I think she makes a pretty cute Fancy Nancy ;)

Rumor has it she's already planning out her next tutu that she wants me to make! How cute is that?

My favorite little model...

It would probably be pretty bad if my own kiddo didn't rock some homemade clothes by her Mama, right? Sometimes that seems to be what happens though. I spend so much time making things for other people that I don't have enough time to make stuff for my own kiddo. It's springtime in TX though and that means it's Bluebonnet time. It was the perfect excuse to make sure I made her entire outfit. So, here you have it. Shirred dress with ribbon ties, matching hair bow, and the cutest little bloomers ever!!


Have I mentioned how much I love embroidered bloomers? I thought they were adorable when she was a baby, but I REALLY like them now. She's at that age where she's all over the place. I could be boring and dress her in pants all the time, but that's not how I roll ;) So...instead she has on cute bloomers that don't mind peeking out when she decides her dress belongs up around her waist! haha!

Another happy customer...

I absolutely LOVE it when I get pictures of happy kiddos in their KK attire!
Say hello to Xander :) Isn't he a doll?!?

A perfect shirt for this little girl!

I think this might be my favorite design so far! This little girls Mama had a specific idea of what she wanted her daughter to wear for this photo shoot. I set out looking for the perfect image and I think it worked out great! She looks so stinkin cute in it, doesn't she?

Here's a close up of the design...

It's about that time...

This time of year makes me start thinking about all the different designs I could use for pillowcase dresses. There's just something about a pillowcase dress that I absolutely love. I don't know whether it's the funky fabric with the girlie bows or if it's because they can be worn more then 3 seconds (those of you with growing toddlers know exactly what I mean!!). A pillowcase dress from last year can be worn over leggings or a skirt this year! I LOVE THAT!!

Here's my latest creation and I'm absolutely in love. I can't wait to make another one like this ;)

Super heros UNITE!

Seriously....is this cute or what?!? How many kiddos do you know that would just love to have one of these??? I wish I was a fly on the wall when they put these capes on and started running around. I bet there was a lot of giggling going on :)
