my little big girl, mack, loves to wear dresses. most of her wardrobe consists of tanktop or t-shirt dresses which is wonderful for hot, but pretty soon that girl is gonna have to start wearing some leggings and a sweater to keep warmer- but she has issues with sweater buttons and zippers- she just cant leave them alone!! so i made her some sleeves. basically just make a long rectangle (as long as one sleeve, across the back and then another sleeve length) then stitch the sleeves together up until where the armpit would be. i added a few rows of edging stitched around the opening so her armpits were covered. and when you make something for one kid, ya gotta make it for the other. so kayla got sleeves, too.
I have ideas. Some of them are good, others~ not so much. Either way, I give them a shot.

KT, these are super cute. I love the pictures of the girls, and those will really come in handy the colder it gets up there this year. Such a cool idea.
