Finding costumes for Aaron and myself was easy (I just went to the local costume shop and pulled a few pieces out of our wardrobe) but dressing the kids proved a little more difficult, so what is a sewing mumma to do???Make her own of course!
My mum had some material left over from making my bridesmaids dresses a few years ago so I got her to send some down to make Izy's dress, added some frill and wah-la
My gorgeous little flapperHer toddler waddle made the frills swish, too cute!
And finding a black long sleeve shirt for Connor proved impossible, luckily I stumbled upon a white pumpkin patch shirt at the op shop which I dyed black. Then I just sewed some white cotton onto the shirt to make it look like he was wearing suspenders.
I think he looks quite dapper all dressed up. (the moustache wore off during the night though)And speaking of dapper.... I think my hubby looks pretty spunky too.
I'm not sure about the hat, I think she looks more like a cow girl now
And just because I loved this photo of me and my girl
