Aaliyahs New Wardrobe :)

This is Aaliyah and i Hiding out in the Mothers room at church during Sunday school. This little one will NOT hold still for longer than 1 min. She is so wiggly and just wants to run around everywhere. Moana and i have been taking shifts i take her 2nd hour and he takes her 3rd hour. We both get one hour of uninterrupted listening, It works out. So When the mothers room is empty we hide out there. She can walk around the room (contained) and i can sit in a nice comfortable rocking chair and listen to the other wards sacrament :) it works out nice for both of us. Luckily We are only two weeks away from NURSERY!!!! Cant wait to be able to pay attention again.
On Easter weekend we had a little Easter egg hunt with some friends of ours. Moana met us there and after we got home he started to tell me that he was really embarrassed with the way Aaliyah was dressed.:( She desperately needed a new pair of shoes. The had been wearing some of Teagans old ones. That were really doing just fine. But said you wouldn't go out of the house looking like that. Why is she.. i laughed but then really thought about it and he was TOTALLY right! When i leave the house most of the time i am very well matched and have lots of accessories that go with each outfit and lots of different shoes.Lately, I had been spending quite a bit of time, and a little bit of money on things that i will be gifting. So the next day i went threw all Aaliyahs clothes ( the Hand me downs that i have gotten and are so grateful for) They are years old but still in good condition, just not the most stylish things. So i decided before Moana got home i was going to have a whole new wardrobe for her. So i got her a new pair of tennys and some cute sandals. Then i revamped and altered Some of her clothes.

This use to be long overalls. I simply cut off the legs used the same bottom seam around the bottom of the skirt and made some cute Rosette flowers and a matching hair clip. She wore this one on Sunday with a white onesie and her newly made white tights.

This was really wide and plain so i sewed up the sides added the ribbon and matching button ( used the extra one that sometimes is sewn into the inside of the out fit ) the Cute with tights. and matching hair clip. The tights are the sleeves of one of the long sleeve onesies i cut off, I sewed them to a pair of white jammers.

This was really plain. i just added the black ribbon and made a matching flower.

This is after i cut up the outfit below. I First made them into capris and later turned it into a cute ruffled skirt bc the capris were too tight. The onesie she is wearing is the one that was long sleeved that i ruffled and added the rosettes on the side and to the hat.

Before transformation

This is an after product of below. I need to let out the crotch of the shorts a little but you get the idea. The onesie had a really big collar around it that i cut off and finished and added the matching ruffles.

So ugly but i loved the color :)

I also did a few shirts and then a whole new running wardrobe for myself that i am now obsessed with! Now i am hooked on making old things new :) which is great bc now i don't feel like i need to buy as much!
