• We began our school year August 22. Liam is in 1st grade, and Madeleine is in Pre-School.

• Madeleine’s white school dress was made using this pattern. I lengthened it to her knees, shortened the sleeves to mid-lenth and then added elastic instead of sleeve cuff.

• Her pinafore was made out of  this linen and sewn using this pattern. I added a white lining and left the back open so as to work as a removable pinafore. Inspired by this pin.

• Learning to press flowers was the highlight of the week. The children picked different weeds and flowers from around the yard and we plan to do this with them.
