I'm a 31-year-old stay-at-home mother of two seeking to serve the Lord in all that I do and finding immense satisfaction in making things. Add homeschooling a high-energy preschooler and keeping tabs on a curious toddler to the mix and there's always something interesting going on!

All so very cute! I like the detailing on the jacket and pants.
Wow! That is a bunch of great sewing!
I love all the pieces, it looks like a great set! For the skirt, maybe check out the Alabama Stitch book from your library. It may give you some ideas, or go to their flickr group. I envision an embroidery of some form running down one entire front side seam. Maybe even check to see if Doodle stitching has a flickr group, I think they do. Or find a cute Otto stencil and paint something, maybe her initial?
Thanks for the ideas! I’m off to look those up…
What theme or look are you going for with the SWAP? I was thinking something similar to a PA Dutch Hex sign would be neat but didn’t have much luck finding a website with hand embroidery examples, plus I don’t know if the colors would look right against the orange. This etsy shop…http://www.etsy.com/shop/CornflowerCreations had some cute fall related ideas. Even a pumpkin! Just teasing. Does Miss M have any opinions as to what she’d like?
Miss M’s opinions are very fickle right now. What she absolutely wants nothing to do with one day is her prized possesion the next. I don’t know what a PA Dutch Hex sign looks like…have to look that up for curiosity’s sake if nothing else. I may leave the skirt alone until the rest of the SWAP is completed and see if inspiration strikes then. (I finished the other bodysuit today!)
I forgot to add that I love everything you’ve made so far!
Thanks!
I really like the jacket. Do you use patterns or just come up with the designs on your own?
All these are made from Ottobre Design patterns. They are a design company in Finland (of course, I purchase their patterns in English!) Miss M wore the jacket to church tonight since it’s been rainy all day. It looked so cute on her!
