Anyone else pick up these beach dino feet from the Target dollar section this summer? Everyone was pretty amazed that Penny stepped up on them without any issue, knew exactly what to do, and even took a few good steps with them. Pretty good balance and coordination for a clumsy 3 year old 😂. I mean, I knew she knew how... because I showed her how to use them at home beforehand. But everyone else was pretty impressed 😂. Also, swipe to see a few more photos from today, because it was a pretty good one. 9pm and we’re just now settling down back home, unpacking (and repacking for tomorrow 😬), and going through all the pictures. #penelopeflora #beachbaby #minikortnijeane
Sneak peek at what’s coming up next 👀. First time making a slip skirt, first time using lingerie-style visible scalloped elastic, and I’m in looooooove. Fabric: @shopwellfibre • #isew #imakefashion #imakemyclothes #memade #memadeveryday #eviebiasskirt
I originally intended for this dress to be midi length, but I accidentally cut the top tier of the skirt too short. I could’ve added a third tier to the bottom, but I actually ended up liking the shorter length in the end 🤷🏻‍♀️. My dress is a modified #mccalls7595 and Penny’s dress is self drafted. Both are in a textured crepe from @minervacrafts, and there will be a blog post up on the Minerva Crafts blog at a later date. But I just had to give you a peek at them now 😉. #minervamakers #hollyshandmade #mommyandmestyle #pennyshandmadewardrobe #isew #imakefashion #memade #sewingforkids #mommyandme
She May look cool and calm here, but I think we may have traumatized our child today... by taking her to get her first haircut 😂👀🤷🏻‍♀️. Check out my stories to see how that went 😬. #Penelope flora
I posted this photo and some others in my stories the other day, but I’m excited about this project so I’m posting it here too. I made a fun sheer dress out of this @joann_stores fabric! I plan on wearing it as a swimsuit coverup for now, and then eventually make a slip dress to wear underneath at a later date. I saved the other photos to my ‘sewing’ highlight if you want to see a peek of the dress! #isewmyownclothes #imakefashion #isew #memade #memadeveryday #makersgonnamake #handmadewardrobe #mncottesloe #mnsudley
Penelope Flora’s OOTD. After the heat wave we had this weekend, today is a lovely 70 degrees and overcast after raining this morning. So she doesn’t need those sunglasses, but she’s so used to wearing some now 😂. We are definitely welcoming this cooler break today. #seepennywear #penelopeflora #juneandjanuary
Found some leftover chains and scrap leather from when I used to make card cases and jewelry for an old Etsy shop. So I whipped up a quick little envelope style purse for my babe 👧🏼. #makersgonnamake
Ventured out yesterday morning at 7:30 am to take some quick photos, and have barely stepped foot outside since. Because 🥵🥵🥵. Also- tiny little sneak peek at our first @minervacrafts outfits!
It’s a heat wave ☀️ (seriously, it’s 100 degrees here and the ‘feels like’ temp is supposed to be more like 110 😱), so it’s a good day to work on another #mncottesloe swimsuit. And I’m actually not joking, I’m making Cottesloe number 58 today (only kind of exaggerating) that I’ll hopefully debut soon. But also, if you’re in the mood to make a swimsuit yourself, the tutorial I made for adding tie straps to Cottesloe is now live over at @megannielsenpatterns. The great thing is that it can be done on any of the views, and you can adjust the measurements to make short stubby ties like this, or long ones that can tied in a bow! head over to Megan’s page for the link. Oh, and fabric is ribbed swim knit from @blackbirdfabrics . #megannielsenpatterns #sewingswimwear #isew #imakefashion #memade #memadeeveryday #hollyshandmade #blackbirdfabrics
