What’s
better than a custom-made outfit? Matching custom-made outfits! I made two
little adorable Nutcracker themed outfits last winter for two very excited
little girls who were watching their first ever ballet at the theatre. It took
me ages to decide between dresses or skirts and tops, but in the end I went for
the latter, since I thought they might get more wear out of the clothes by
making them mix and match separates.

There’s
a very small timeframe where children will merrily dress in matching clothes
before they rebel and refuse to dress alike. I have no doubt that as the
children I know grow I’ll get fewer requests for matching clothes, instead
it’ll be a case of making clothes to suit to very specific tastes as each
child’s personality blossoms.

In the
meantime, I’ll keep making matching bibs, bags, skirts, dresses and anything
else that I can, because twinning is winning and super cute!
