Can You Say Refashion?

So Alex is growing out of her clothes so fast, and I could just throw her old clothes away...but oh no...not me! I'm on a big "refashioning" kick. I've been so obsessed with sewing that now I look at other items of clothing and if they have holes, stains or rips I try to decide what I could make out of them...

Like this outfit.
I took her old jeans, cut the legs off, added fabric and it becomes a super cute skirt. (I promise it's straight. It's just hard to get a serious picture with this stinker.) But I think I love this skirt so much because my mom made me one just like this when I was little.

The shirt had stains up toward the top, but that is easily taken care of... I just made some "yo yos" with buttons, sewed it to the shirt, and you don't even know the stains are there!
It's so fun!
And I'm such a nerd.
I know.

Anyway, just a side note...this little turkey and I were sick with the vomits last night. Ugh. I hate being sick, but it's sad to see your little ones so violently sick.
But not even 24 hours later this is what she looks like. Look at that face....you wouldn't even know she was sick...well, maybe that hair would give you some kind of a clue!
But we are all doing much better...just waiting for Phil to get it...he doesn't think he'll be bit by the bug, but it's a strong one, so don't be too sure! ;)
I'll save you some Gatorade, babe!
