If you can believe it, I actually completed an Easter outfit for each member of my family just in time for the big day…yippee for getting it all done! I thought I would share the final looks with all of you so you can see that I am not lying 😉
I tried my best to get a few pictures of the girls standing, not running or crawling away, so you could see the lengths and the fit of the dresses I made them from this earlier post here which by the way Thank You so much for all the sweet comments and emails about how much you liked them! Some of you had asked about the fit as well as if there is a pattern available. I actually drafted both of these dresses off of a vintage dress I had seen in a very old magazine a few months back but I can try to get something up for you on the blog sometime soon-ish.
Happy Easter for our family to yours!! Here is our Easter 2011 family picture. These are getting so much harder to do with three kids, aiyayay! Trying to get all my littles to look and smile at the camera at the same time is definitely a challenge, I don’t know if we will ever be able to do this if we have #4.
The weather was absolutely perfect…sunny, warm and bright! We had a huge Easter egg hunt and Noah and Penelope had a blast searching for eggs.
Here’s a view of Penny in her Easter dress. I made it so it lays above her knee, totally 1950’s little girl vintage, I’m loving it!
Little Miss E wanted nothing more than to jump up and down…my sweet little babe is getting so big. I also made both girls coordinating hair bow clips. I think they gave their dresses the perfect touch!
I made Mr. Smashed Peas and Carrots this tie…yup, I actually made him a real TIE! It was so easy too! I used the tutorial from The Purl Bee found here.
It matches Noah’s tie applique shirt. Noah was so excited to have something that matched his daddy, so sweet!
I made myself a skirt which you can see in the first picture along with this coordinating brooch. I think it tied my outfit nicely with all my littles!
We had such a wonderful Easter celebration full of amazing food, too much candy and enjoying being with family. I hope you did too! Here’s to more beautiful weather!!
Also, make sure you stop back tomorrow to find out the winner of the JoTotes giveaway as well as to find out what my next exciting giveaway is going to be!! Woot!
XOXO,
You are so talented and your family is beautiful! I totally understand about the challenges of a family picture – we have 7 kiddos! I dream of a picture of all of them with all eyes on the camera, hands down (no rabbit ears of sister’s head or peace signs), sweet smiles,etc. Oh I dare to dream! 🙂
Beautiful job!!!!! I love the brooch on the sweater and the girls’ dresses….oh heck….I just love it all!!! Great job!!!
Absolutely adorable. 🙂
Happy Easter! Looks like you guys are having fun! Love the outfits for everyone in your family. Love that they have matching fabric too.
Happy Easter! 🙂 The family pic is lovely… my girls are 3 and (almost) 2, and trying to get a picture of them both where they are looking “normal” is impossible! Haha! Thanks for sharing the link for the tie… my hubs has made many comments about me sewing him a tie, I think I’ll have to try it out! 🙂 Have a great week!
so adorable!!!!!!!! love the girls dresses! so cute! i’m sad i’ve been so sick for what feels like forever and got absolutely no sewing done for easter….ah well – there’s always next year rirhg? Hugs!
Very cute! I made your Resurrection Rolls with my Sunday School Class, they loved it!
So crazy cute! I love it. There is nothing like the whole family dressing up for Easter.
I loved them! So darling! So cute!
Sweet! This is a serious fete. If I make stuff for my two girls, I consider it a serious accomplishment (which it is, but still). I was super thrilled at how good my girls were at church – tried to direct the choir from the aisle, but that’s no sin. Oh, and they wore the hair fascinators (a la Kate Middleton) that I had made by Sassy Heart Tutus from winning your giveaway. Big hit. I’ll let you know when I post about it so you can check it out.
I’m super impressed! This makes me want to try to make cute matching stuff for my husband & son!
Aw Maggie you are so clever.all those lovely outfits, and all matching! loved mr Peas, tie.it does look like a smashed peas pattern on it!!
Glad to see you all had a super duper Easter.hugs Rosie.xx
LOVE it! Great work!! 🙂 Darling pictures.
Looks great Maggie! I am definitely going to try the tie tutorial. My husband has a job interview next week, so I was thinking I could make him a new tie for good luck!
I love the “tie” you made for your son . . . too cute!! 🙂
Adorable!!!!!
Adorable!!!
