Bragging

We all know that I have a slight obsession with clothes. Most also know that I am very picky and particular with the clothes I select for my children. I have admitted that I am in need of therapy and if I had the time I would speak with a professional about my crazy clothes obsession.

BUT here is my newest confession.....my mom is my enabler!!!
I have spoken before that I come from a long line of crafty women. They can cook, sew, paint, garden, etc.
Well, when I say sew, I mean sew well. Before my mom retired, there was no time for such hobbies. But retirement has brought back my mom's craftiness.
This was her first project for Jillian.
This was her second project for Jillian!
Then Rocco got a pair of shorts!
Notice the details on the pocket. My aunt monogrammed his name.
But then I reminded my Mom of my tendency toward matching up my cutie-patooties.....
She had made these warm-up outfits, so now it was time to get serious!
so she made these.....

I should have taken a close-up of the material but there are stars on both fabrics. We are ready for the 4th!! Soooooo stinking adorable....
then she wasn't done yet....

This is the back of Jillian's outfit. It has a criss-cross back and the top is lined with the stripes.

Am I in heaven or what??? My own personal seamstress!!!! The kids have never looked cuter!!!
I think I am going to start sending my therapy bills to my Mom.
Wait until you see the projects she is working on now!!!

those outfits are darling. i must warn you though...i "ordered" so many things from my mom that last year she bought me a machine and offered to teach me how to sew. somehow my plan of her making all these darling things for my kids backfired!! :)
