Same day, more swing tops.

Since the first swing top was made before naptime this morning, I decided to make a few more during their actual nap while Abby and Jack entertained themselves by building a mud city.
 

 


So, same as earlier, I used the mad mim tutorial / printable 2T pattern, but this time I added a little more room to the chest and a little more length to the sleeves so it would be easier to turn them under. 

The blue flowers and stripes are from girl charlee, the pink hearts are from Jo-Ann.



The faces Georgia pull just crack me up.  She is a hoot.  She still easily fits in these puppet show shorts - they are 6month!  Aaah, she is a skinny minnie. 




Elizabeth was obsessed with her binoculars and completely uninterested in posing for any kind of picture, which is par for the course.  Also she is wearing another pair of puppet show shorts from last year.


This yellow stripe is a scrap from my SIL's maxi skirts, I knew that piece was big enough for something! ;)




When they aren't fighting like crazy, or screaming their lungs out, these two can be pretty cute. 



Life with twins can be hard, but moments like these make it all worth it.

    These tops are adorable! Love it! I want to try this pattern, but it's way too big for Maggie right now. Must make a mental note for next year.

    Your girls are so cute. I love the funny faces. I can only IMAGINE how hard twins are - one at a time is plenty hard enough! But they sure are cuties.

      It is a really cute pattern, isn't it? I am tempted to follow the tutorial to make one for Abby too.

      Thanks Inder, I try not to complain but sometimes life is hard;)

      Thanks! I am thinking the one with Iz kissing George needs to be framed... ;)

      I am thinking I could use the flashback tee as a base to size it up for Abby, do you have that one?

    Too cute - both girls and tops!
    They are growing so fast (at least from our view as I imagine it must be quite different from your perspective)!
    I can't pick a favorite (top, of course). Your adjustments were great and I do think the fit is better on those :-)

      You are right, in the moment sometimes it seems to drag on, but they are two now! I almost can't believe it.

      The tops are addictive, I could sit and make a few more today, I think!

    What is it about binoculars? Both my girls would spend all day playing with them!
    I am so tempted to try this top. Not sure how my pattern drafting skills are to size up for my eldest but the 2T should fit little one.
