On Saturday we went to the Renaissance Faire.  We met some friends there with their two kids and had a rather nice time.  The kids got to ride an elephant and go on a few more rides.   I love our Ren Faire – it is in a great wooded area and lots of people dress up for it.

At about 11:45 am I decided that I needed to figure something out for Kailan to wear.  We were meeting our friends at 2 pm.  I made him the shirt in about 1.5 hours.  I had to figure out a pattern from scratch…so extra pressure!  It turned out a little wide, but that’s okay.  I have a vest to put over it that I made a few years back that he can wear for Halloween.  It is lined in fleece so it should be nice and warm for him.  You’ll have to wait for Halloween for that one.  His pants are from last year, as is the belt.  He looked pretty cute in it.  It was simple outfit, but it was a warmish day, so anything more and he would have been too hot.

Then here is Anya’s dress to go along with her fairy wing jacket.  She looks very cute all put together, does she not?

The fabrics have been in my stash for a good year or two and the ribbon is vintage from my Grandma. I’m guessing circa the 70’s. It actually has a lacey blue ribbon underneath the blue/green/white ribbon.

Anya was quite happy with it, so that makes mommy happy.  She actually liked something that wasn’t pink.  We are making progress here people!
