Sewing for Kids

Sorry to be a day late on this.  Thrifty Thursday was on my mind.  But, also occupying my fingers.  I have been in the sewing groove most of the week.  I don't fall in very often.  So, I like to kinda ride the wave all the way through, while everything else is crashing down around me.  As long as there is still room for my sewing, it's okay if there is an inch of dog hair building up on the floor, toys strewn about like an obstacle course, dirty dishes stacked on every kitchen counter.  What's for dinner?  Boxed mac n' cheese!

Anyway.  This is what I am talking about.  I made these pants for Peyton.  And the bow tie.  It cost me less than $5 combined.
There are many reasons to sew.  But, sewing for the small ones has the added perk of being super cost effective.  In the stores, clothes for kids can often cost as much money as clothes for adults.  But, the fact that their clothes require very little fabric (the main expense) makes sewing a thrifty deal. 
I learned how to make these pants from Dana at Made.  She has a tutorial for making pants that is really easy to follow.  It was so simple.  I can't believe I didn't start sewing pants for the munchies earlier.  Peyton & I were both so excited with the finished product. 
The bow tie was so easy & quick & fun!  I am addicted.  I got that pattern from Mellissa at Fraker's Acres.  If you think the bow tie is cool, stay tuned.  I have a surprise up my sleeve.
