Children Divided, Part 2
Thought I would share some pics of the girls in their gameday get up.
They were NOT into having pictures taken that morning, but they still are cute!
And my Dawgs won!

Children Divided
We are big football fans in our house. But my husband and I have loyalties to different teams. Most of the time this isn’t a big problem. We tend have wardrobe changes during the day (out of fairness). The girls will be in their Red and Black during my games and Orange and Blue during his. This year I made little dresses for them for Saturday game days. I got little team logo patches from a sports apparel store online and attached them on.
Dawg Dames Gator Gals
This divided loyalty has caused some confusion in our children though. I’ve taught Dinah how to “Call the Dawgs”
and Christian has taught her to Gator Chomp.
Sometimes this combines…she’ll say “Go Gators! Sic ‘em! Woof woof woof!” One day she will do this on camera and we will share.
BUT this is the one week a year our divided loyalties are a problem. Tomorrow is the Georgia vs. Florida football game. So our children have to be divided too.
Basically I took two t-shirts and two onesies, cut them in half and sewed them back together.
I actually made the onesie version for Dinah way back in the day.
The girls will be hanging out with their Granny and Grandpa while we go over to Jacksonville for the Game. We will make sure to get pictures of the girls in their getup tomorrow.
And Go Dawgs!
Distractions
Before I got started on Christmas presents I was distracted with sewing for the Georgia-Florida game. I decided to make a red dress for myself. This process included making and adjusting at least two “muslins” before even attempting the final product. I came to a couple conclusions through this process…1.) Traditional patterns have lots (lots!) of sizing issues and 2.) I didn’t really love sewing for myself. Since then I have made a few more things for myself, but they were from simple tutorials and much smaller projects. At this point I would rather do my “real” sewing for other people.
Here is the red dress…
The other project I did was small and really an excuse to use my new serger. I cut two onesies in half and serged them together to create a couple Gameday onesies for Dinah. Too cute!
