twin dresses

My sweet twinner nieces are turning TWO!  I love twins for one reason...dress alike! I just think they are so cute! (sure glad I don't own a pair...having enough trouble with one thank you!)

I knew I wanted to make them *kinda matching outfits.

Got these shirts at walmart


can't beat that!

I just had a bunch of brown and pink fabric (love that combo) and I kinda just pieced it together to make a skirt

I made them slightly alike but used the fabric in different spots

Made it into a long rectangle....stuck some elastic through the top and sewed up the sides

I don't have a serger...I use pinking shears and it does the job pretty good!

Now those shirts...although quite patriotic didn't really go...
So they got a little addition as well

cut it out and pinned it on and sewed it around

added a ruffle and some buttons


all wrapped up and ready to go

  2. Super cute! I feel the same about twins... fun to shop/create for but not to actually "own" :)

  22. Adorable! My mom sent me a link to another project on your blog and I've had fun looking through your great projects.

    Just one *little* thing, it really bugs me when people talk about being glad they don't have twins. I have 5 year old twin girls, and though having twins isn't always the easiest thing in the world, it is one of the greatest. Just saying.
