I have been one crafty gal this week. This is more due to the fact that I had a baby shower deadline approaching than a motivational surge . . . but still!
Animal print bibs. I used ribbon and leftover terry that I had on hand. They are not true toddler size but should be just right when baby Meg starts solids:)
I heart elastic thread. It rocks my world. I feel like you get wow-factor with very little effort at all. 
Katie is not what I would call "model-material." Especially right before a nap when she wants Mommy to back off with the camera. Don't you love the socks she picked out! I have been meaning to try a shirt-dress refashion forever. Finally here it is. I just improvised as we went and had to add elastic to the front and a box-pleat to the back so it would fit. Not perfect but I am excited to try this again. I tried to make a shirt for me . . . hahahaha. It is going in the scraps bag. I don't know what I was thinking using a knit shirt for a pattern I wanted to use linen fabric for!
Here she is perfectly modeling the box-pleat . . .trying to escape into her crib:)As a little motivation to get some more projects done . . . I am also working on pj pants for my sis, fabric coasters, a t-shirt shirred dress for Kate, and a bunch of mending! I have so many half-done projects it is embarrassing! No more shopping for me until I finish some of them!

Your shirt dress is super cute! Isn't it so satisfying to take a shirt that's just been lying around and make something cute and needed for your kids! I've got more refashioning on the way as well. A couple more dresses for Liv and some tees for Jack from Josh's toss pile. It'll def save me some money when I need to shop for the summer season!
