My mom made clothes for the older two because at the time that was more economical (but less cool) when my sister and I were born (way later) she made the occasional item out of crafty urges and halloween requests. I am super jealous of the homemade and MATCHING outfits my siblings had. The hand embroidered denim LEVI Shirts with scenes out of their snoopy coloring books? Yea I didn’t get one of those (they each have a different one)! Mauve cross stitch teddy bear sweatshirt – that one is mine. Blast being born in 1980. One day she will be stoked – and she will ALWAYS have the best halloween costume!

I’ve slaved away on my sewing machine only to have my daughter reject my creative cuteness as well! I had to giggle a little when you shared her “tantrum”. It’s like it physically hurts them to wear it right?! I hung my outfits in her closet in hopes that someday she might just choose to wear them. I’m thankful that she at least will wear the Halloween costume she’s requested at this point ;-). Sorry I have no advice to offer, but just wanted to let you know you are not alone Mama!

Particularly on the decorative buttons. Good idea!

They seem to like the reaction people give when they tell them their mom made it. I hope this isn’t going to send them to therapy but I guess if it’s not that it will be something else 🙂 Sometimes they have irrational dislikes or things like how my three year old hates buttons I try to compromise with her and leave off things like decorative buttons.
