Mandi and Bryce showed up at the house last night with a bag full of red and white fabric and grand ideas about making Santa outfits for San Francisco SantaCon 2012. In case you've never heard of it - here is a link that will tell you all about SantaCon...

It didn't take long for me to figure out that I would be the one making the costumes - partly because I'm a little bit of a control freak and wouldn't allow them to touch my sewing machine! Besides that, they didn't have a pattern or a real idea of how to make what they wanted. I spent the better part of the day measuring, cutting and sewing. Here are a couple pictures of the finished products...

I had a lot of fun making their outfits. It took me back to when the kids were little and I made all their Halloween costumes. I'm very pleased with the way their outfits turned out - Mandi and Bryce seemed pretty excited about them as well. The best part of the day was when Mandi made tortilla soup for dinner while I was sewing - it was delicious! All in all, I think it was a pretty good trade!
