My Chillin's Easter getups. not ur avg...

[GoatHerder]

I asked my kiddos what they wanted to wear for Easter, since I was fresh out of ideas. My son decided he wanted camo pants and a hobbit shirt. Sure why not, says I, that'll be simple. So here he is complete with coonskin cap:


And my daughter wanted a skirt that 'went way up' when she spins. So I did a simple pink polkadot circle skirt. I decided instead of a regular hem, I'd have a bit of fun with the serger. And what better way to accessorize than with striped tights:


and a detail of the serged hem with decrative silk threads:


They both love their outfits, so that makes me happy!
Thanks for looking!!

That skirt is adorable and the hem looks just beautiful.  Your kids look so cute!  Now I want a hobbit shirt.

Your kids are SO AWESOME!!!!! They look so cute in those little outfits!  I love it when kids are cool and like to wear different stuff.

Your kids are so friggin cool. And really lucky to have an awesome mom who indulges them when they want to be different.

Thank you all for the great compliments! They are cool kids, and I love making things so they are different (no pride there, huh).

It's great that you let your kids wear whatever the hell they want, instead of dressing them in BabyGap.   I really like the shape of the skirt too. so congrats on your child rearing and sewing abilities.

My youngest used to love striped tights too. I think that's a fase they're going through. A Pippi Longstocking/princess-fase maybe?

Anyway..it turned out great I think. Heck, I'd wear those outfits!
