We cleaned up our wardrobe a couple of days ago, separating them into different piles. The supposedly easy task turned out to be not that easy! Some clothes are of course easy to be put away. Store-bought clothes who were ripped, stained, or damaged beyond repair, they were put together to be thrown away later after I saved all the buttons, zippers, or everything else that could be saved from them. There were also store bought clothes who have became too small, we saved them to be brought to the thrift store later.
The hardest part was all the damaged, but handmade clothes, especially Sidra’s. There was no other way but to throw them away, but it really broke my heart to have to rip all the buttons off of them. I know every details of these clothes, every reason why I decided to make them, and every memories making them and then presenting them to Sidra. His reaction to them, where and when he wore them, and how fast he then outgrew them.
It’s the first time I have to do something like these. It kinda hurts, but I guess it is a part of life. That everything will come to an end.
Now, now, that’s some deep philosophical talk about some clothes. Clothes are just clothes. When they’re not good anymore, we don’t wear them again. I’m trying to accept that.
That left me with Sidra’s handmade clothes who are too small but still in good condition. I couldn’t throw them away, but I also don’t have the heart to bring them to the thrift store. What am I supposed to do with them?
A giveaway!
I hope by giving them away, they will have another chance to be worn and hopefully loved by another little boy somewhere in the world. However, I’m sorry that I can’t cover the shipping fee for these items, because they were a bit too much for all of these. I will combine shipping fee if you want more than one item.

Thank you Novita!!! You are so awesome!! : )
It broke my heart when I read :I know every details of these clothes, every reason why I decided to make them, and every memories making them and then presenting them to Sidra. His reaction to them, where and when he wore them,
You still have those memories with you, you have done the wonderful things for him and for another boy.
Thank you for such sweet words! I guess beautiful memories worth even more than the clothes
That’s so sweet of you. That’s a gesture I should file away when my niece and nephew outgrows the handknits and crochet pieces I made them.
this is such a great idea, and a great way to make others happy with ur clothes that were made with much love! too bad i don’t have a boy!
Hi Novita!!
I am probably too late, but if #4 shirt is still available I would love to have it for my little man! I think that is the only thing available?! How sweet of you to do this!!!
Ooh! No 2 and 3 look fantastic! And they would look great on my little girl :), but I’m a bit late though… Very nice with a giveaway! Hope they fit the lucky winners!
such absolutely adorable clothes!
my son is 22 years old and i still remember giving away the little things i made for him. i gave them to a friend with a little boy a couple of years younger, and it made me smile every time i saw him in my son’s handmade clothes
That must be a lovely feeling, Lisa. I can imagine it now
These are so cute! There will be some lucky kids who receive these!
Thank you! I hope they will love the clothes
Oh, I think I am a litle too late.
