Making Pajamas, another of my favorite gifts!

So my favorite posts from last year were our 'The Night Before Christmas' Series.  Not only were there tons of wonderful stories about Christmas Eve traditions, there were tons of fun Pajama's to share.  I have been making PJ's for my kiddos and their cousins for the last three years, and it is a tradition that I hope to keep up for quite a while.

Creating a Wardrobe: Outerwear and Accessories

So of course Mack's Fall wardrobe also needed a fun fall coat.  Coats are a great place to go all out, find fabric you love, add notions, spend time on it.... why???  Well, because a coat is going to get the most wear out of your child's wardrobe.  They will wear it daily and it will go every where with them.  Part of the reason I love making coats is the reward of seeing them worn so often.
