DIY- Toddler Jacket

I finally added a white anchor button to the jacket. 

Here are some pictures of the jacket with a lovely white anchor button.

I couldn't pick one picture.

Too cute not to share all of the pictures. 

My daugther Gisele kept on saying "Bird! Bird! Bird!" 

Blue Jay bird was interrupting our photo session ha!

Last night I made another jacket~
 Pink tweed fabric with Purple lining 
{Those fabrics I got from a thrift store for free!!}

Violette Field Threads Molly Jacket Pattern: My cute girl in an adorable jacket

When I saw this picture of green jacket and I fell in love with the jacket.

It is gorgeous!!

I knew that my daughter must have a jacket just like this.

So I purchased from Violette Field Threads Molly Jacket Pattern- PDF.

They have an option for paper pattern too.

The instructions was very easy to follow and it took me about 2 hours 

to finish the Molly jacket for my girl.

DIY- Adorable Ruffle Pants

Found a twin flat sheet for $1 at my favorite thrift store

I used my daughter's capris pants

Fold the flat sheet 1/4

Trace the capris pant and make sure there are enough room so you

can sew them together

Cut it out

That should look like this

Fold the sheet 1/4 again,

Trace it again and 

cut it out so now you have two fabrics

Sew on the top to the end of crotch part. Check next picture

Sew the bottom of one leg, sew up to the crotch part then back down the other leg

This is important to remember!!

 Don't forget to leave the opening

so you can insert the elastic band.

Sew end of the elastic band together

Finally it's completed.

See it's not that hard.

 When you sew more pants and it will be very quick. 

Sorry it's not a great picture of pants on her. 

She won't pose a picture for me but this picture will do just fine.

Simple Step Stool- Distressing Wood and Polyacrylic {Day 3}

I decided the step stool would look good distressed.

I always go for boring, plain, and perfection.

Plus I wanted to learn how to distress a wood. 

I used 120 grit sand paper to distress the step stool.

I was nervous that I will mess it up then I realized that I've to let the fear go. 

Then I went a little wild with distressing and it was fun.

General Finishes

Polyacrylic Water Based Top Coat.

This stuff is awesome!! I am not kidding. 

I used Scott Shop towel and wiped it down 3 coats.

 I let the paint and polyacrylic to cure for a few days.

Finally here are the results. 

Here is a picture of my little lady Gisele sitting on a lovely distressed step stool.

I love my DIY step stool and my kids loves it too!
