a little sewing tip

When making matching clothes for the girls, I've found that it can become confusing when the laundry is done for the girls to know which skirt belongs to whom. On an outing to the craft store, I let each daughter pick out a box of buttons. One girl chose butterflies, another squares, the third chose hearts and I picked out flowers for my littlest. I hand sew a button to each girl's skirt (or apron or shirt) to identify the owner of the clothing.
