Outfit Solution for a Hoppy Easter Egg Hunt

It is no secret that I love to dress my children in cute smocked or appliqued clothes. I love even more for them to match or coordinate! Holidays are some of the most fun times to match their clothes. But, in buying matching outfits for three - especially outfits they may only get to wear once or twice - I must spend more money than I want or need. With Easter approaching I started planning their outfits and wanted to find something cute Ann Elise and Bankston Hays could wear for her Easter Egg Hunt at Preschool.

A few months ago I introduced you to my new found friend, Etsy? She stepped up and helped me solve my matching/coordinating holiday clothes for Easter! I found this seller that makes charming iron-on appliques. As I browsed her site I found the most precious designs in adorable fabrics. I was tempted to buy one of everything. But, the more I debated, I settled on just ordering Easter theme appliques for now. I figured I would see how they worked first and then buy more. :) As I waited for them to arrive I went on the hunt for solid color T-shirts and ended up finding several at Wal-Mart online (site-to-store, which is a FABULOUS service) and a few at Target. Once the appliques and instructions arrived, I went to work transferring the designs:

The pieces to the bunny applique:

First step - ironing on the body of the bunny applique:

Second step - ironing on the egg part of the applique:

Third and final step - sewing the button eyes on the applique:

How cute is that?!?

Can't forget baby brother! He's wearing the carrot to match!
