Sewing For Kindergarten

Today we're kicking off Sewing Like Mad's Sewing for Kindergarten series!
I have a giveaway too, so make sure you read to the end!


Zoe is my Kindergartner this year and she is just thrilled! She's gone to Preschool for the last 2.5 years (she has speech) so she was beyond ready to start. She is pure energy and school is so good for her!

I don't remember my first day of Kindergarten, but I do remember Kindergarten. I had a little boyfriend named Michael and he was the sweetest kid ever. He would ask me what I wanted to do during recess and if that meant I wanted to swing, he would push me. If I wanted to paint, he would get the paper on the easel ready and the paints and paintbrushes out.

He's the little kid with the Mohawk and yellow shirt with suspenders and I'm the one with the black marker drawn on her, right next to him. My sister wanted to see what I would have looked like with long hair...

This is how I really looked in Kindergarten though. LOL

Zoe's wardrobe is mostly handmade and this is turning out to be my favorite outfit for her. I really want to make it in my size......

Let's start with the jeans. The stretch denim is from Joanns and I adore it. I used the Kudzu Cargo Pants pattern from Willow & Co. The fabric is pretty crazy, so we omitted the side pockets. Besides, more pockets for this girl just means more bugs that I find hidden in them.......

The hoodie is the Coastal Pullover from Amelie & Henri. I made it out of this slouchy knit that I've had forever. It matches the teal in the pants perfectly and hoodies are a must going into the fall!

And lastly are her kicks.
We got the Stone Suede Moccs from Freshly Picked and loved them so much I wrote to them asking if I could have a giveaway! They were so amazingly sweet and not only said yes, but they also sent us out another pair to review as well! I let Zoe pick the second pair and she picked the Gold ones. She loves them and hasn't worn any other pairs of shoes to school.
The Gold is made of thinner leather and are very light. You can see that her little footprints are starting to show on the bottom.

Zoe has told me how comfy they are and with the weather changing they have been perfect! They keep her little feet warm, but are breathable enough that she has not complained about her feet being too hot when it gets warm outside. The gold has also been the perfect color for her wardrobe!

The stone suede ones are of thicker leather and will be perfect when it gets colder. I love the neutral color of these and they go great with everything.

Something to note is that these are true moccasins and are soft soled, which is really perfect for us cause Zoe loves to go around barefoot and these give her that feeling but also provides protection. So it's a total win!
