As parents or adults who enjoy sewing, I’m sure many of us often find ourselves pondering whether certain holidays call for creating brand-new handmade outfits for the little ones in our lives. Halloween and Christmas are obvious choices, but what about Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, or even the Fourth of July? It’s always up for personal interpretation.
Tara from Girl Like the Sea clearly felt the patriotic spirit when it came to Independence Day! She decided her kids needed something special in red, white, and blue. So, she got creative and made a Swingset Tunic—lengthening it into a dress—and really outdid herself by crafting a hand-carved Abraham Lincoln stamp. It’s such a clever touch that adds both charm and personality to the outfit.
I absolutely adore how cute and quirky this ensemble turned out to be. The ticking stripe skirt is particularly delightful! If you're curious about all the details, including a close-up of that Honest Abe stamp and the perfectly chosen buttons, head over to Girl Like the Sea for more photos.

In between all the festive planning, it’s easy to get lost in the joy of DIY projects like these. Whether it’s for a holiday or just because, handmade clothes can bring so much warmth and character to any occasion. If you’re inspired to try your own hand at stamping designs onto clothing, it’s easier than you might think. All you need is some fabric paint, a carving tool, and a steady hand—or maybe a few practice rounds on scrap material first!
Speaking of inspiration, if you’re looking for more ideas or patterns similar to the Swingset Tunic, there are plenty of resources online where you can explore different styles and techniques. Sewing not only allows you to create unique pieces tailored to your child's personality but also offers a wonderful way to bond through creativity.
