pattern review: perfect as always
my own notes: the ruffles are harder then they appear, but well worth it!
observe-
this, as well as the black printed one, I hand stitched the arm hols to make them 'invisible' from the front. i thought it just made a more polished look. The tan wool I had to top stitch, the material wouldnt lay nicely otherwise.
and the action shots -
the top purple one is for lil Lilly Pants' birthday.I am currently nailing down my design for MaraMum's Easter dress and it just might mean making yet another on of these :)
ps- I did make an adult version. But my husband put the kabosh on "matchy-matchy"... so into the present box it goes.
much love
mother of Mara
Mara is just way too cute. You guys will probably just have to lock her away until she's 20. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the black patterned one. Looks like that pattern turned out similar to this re-fashion I want to try:

Only problem is my 2 year old doesn't get messy or have stained shirts (yes I know that is weird) so I'd have to buy one for the project.
M doesn't like matchy-matchy??? J tolerates it pretty well. I don't try to go overboard though, maybe similar patterns and such, but my mom forced me to match my sisters growing up and I hated it! I think an adult version of that would be darling!
Sorry for not talking much on Sunday... I had a crying hungry baby in the other room and by the time I went back to find you, you were gone! :-(
