I made the children's holiday outfits on the 30 Minutes per Day sewing plan, and I never did show you the children actually wearing the outfits. They wore the outfits on Sunday for another program, so I was able to take a few pictures.
Here is my daughter, wearing the Jalie crossover top and modified vintage circle skirt. This outfit really works for her for many reasons: it is easy to wear, it looks more grown up, but doesn't look too mature for an 11 year old.
Next is my son, wearing his vest and new red tie. The vest could be an inch or two longer, but it will last the season and since I didn't pay for anything except the buttons, I'm not going to agonize over it. I can always make him another one.
Here they both are:
Tomorrow, I will have an update on the Vogue 1132 plaid jacket. I think I'll have the fashion fabric body done by then!Parting Shot: Claimed. Wellie has claimed this box for himself. We were trying to find a box for an unusual present and started going through the extra shoe boxes. Wellie decided this one was good enough for him for a nap.

Your children look lovely!!! (cute/handsome). I have such special memories of the clothes my mother made for me during the holidays. I am sure your children feel very special to have custom outfits.
both are beautiful. Merry Christmas to everyone
Vert nice. They look so awesome in their holiday outfits.
Beautiful outfits, you always have great ideas.
How smart they look! And very happy with their new clothes too :)
They look great in their new outfits!
You did a wonderful job. They both look fantastic :)
Wellie looks pretty comfortable!
Great clothes! Both children look so nice.
Great outfits and sweet children!
The kids look so nice! And Wellie is just hysterical!
wishes you a mele kalikimaka from the airport in Honolulu, en route home to St. Louis for Christmas.
I appreciated your comments about the (lovely/handsome) children and their delightful new Christmas outfits.
First of all, as a mother of grown daughters, I appreciate your daughter's modesty. Second, I appreciate your training and teaching her about the reasons you gave why her new outfit works so well for her. Good job!
Second, I know we don't want to grow our kids up too fast, or dress them too old, but I agree with your not stressing over the vest's length. He looks awesome in it with that smashing red tie, and the "look" now is sort of short-vested, hip-hugging belted. Your little guy is growing fast, isn't he?!
Blessings!
Your children look fabulous! Perfect outfits and what sweet smiles~looks like they love the clothes as much as you enjoy making them. win-win!
Merry Christmas!

It's hard to meet the sartorial needs of an 11 year old girl...so this speaks very highly of your skill as a seamstress and a mom.
And that son of yours...so cute!!!
The children look darling. You've done a wonderful job, Summerset! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
What IS it with cats and boxes?
Your children look wonderful in their Christmas outfits, as usual. I know they will always remember and appreciate the time and love that went into each outfit.
That Wellington....he just has to get in the act, doesn't he?
