Sew Grateful

My Son absolutely wanted to be a part of this sewing/picture taking action. So as my daughter poses in her latest outfit my son wants to know what he can try on so that I can take a picture of him also.
Of course I went straight to the store and found a pattern so I could make something for him. I found these really cute cargo pants that were easy to make and turned out realy cute!
I had never really thought about how to make a cargo pocket, and now I know. I will attempt to make him a button up shirt next. He is so excited and such a goofball!! :)

I had a pattern that required a lining of material inside. So I started thinking about how you could use that to make a reversible dress.
I used the same material on both sides, I just reversed the layout of material. The thing you should remeber when making this outfit is the buttons; you have to use smooth buttons so that they will not scratch her when turned either side out!
There are a couple of things I love about this idea. The first is that if your daughter eats and gets the outfit dirty you can then just flip it over and not have to worry about shoes, bows, or any accesory matching. I also like the idea that you are buying two outfits for only a small price more of the price of one.
Let me know what you think and I will post another picture of the reverse side later!
