Genius Hour#2

Today my mom and I went to a local baby store in town. We found several outfits that looked similar to our homemade outfit. We were able to compare quality, colors  and prices. My mom and I were able to discuss the pros and cons of name brand clothes to homemade clothes. We found that most of the name brand clothes only came in one or few colors and not all sizes were true to fit. The name brand quality seemed to be good but cost a lot. My mom and I also discussed that homemade clothes can be the color or design that you want, not limited to one or two colors like the name brand. You can also alter patterns  to fit any size infant or a baby. Some fabric can be pricey but even so, with thread, buttons and patterns is much cheaper than a name brand outfits.IMG_1994

 

Genius Hour#1

Last week we got this project from our E.L.A teacher Mrs.Iske. We started with a proposal where we had to choose a topic which my topic is Name Brand vs Homemade. I chose this topic because I have a niece on the way so I wanted to either buy or make her clothes and I didn’t know which would be better.As soon as I heard we were starting this genius hour project I thought about Aizly my new coming niece. What I am doing for Aizly is making her a dress and seeing if the one I made her or the one my mom bought for her is made better.What I have done so far is that I got my mom to help me pick out the : pattern, fabric, thread. We had already had a sewing machine because my mom can sew clothes and bows. My mom can even monogram clothes, burp cloths, or towels.WIN_20151024_150750 (2)
