Tahlias Holiday re-styling challenge


What to do in the holidays???
I wanted to bring out the sewing machine and leave it on the dining room table all holidays and let the girls be creative.
My sister in law suggested a 're-styling' challenge!  Sounds like fun!


So here is Tahlias creation..............

Off to the second hand shops we went,


What a find!! Brand new dressing gowns for $10 and they are soooo snuggly.

Before.......


Then there was the fun and creative part.

Carefully cut the collar/sides off.


We got a bit stuck and had to ask Dad for his expert opinion.


Measure it carefully.


Sewing the legs, make sure you keep the seams together Tahlia.

And here it is!! Onesies!!

It was meant to be a 'holiday project'  However Tahlia kept going and going until it was done. A total of 6 hours and even skipping dinner!

She is very proud of her Onesies!!
