More kids’ clothes . . .
I’m trying to crank out a mini-wardrobe for my daughter before school starts in a couple weeks. The first two months or so of school she’ll still be wearing warm weather clothes, so I am making it a warm weather wardrobe, made semi-transitional into fall weather by the addition of capri length leggings:
These are from the 1/2007 issue of Ottobre Design. I’ve made them twice before, so I know they fit. Out of the same fabric I made the “hug” knit top from 1/2008 issue of Ottobre Design:
The trim is bias strips of the Alexander Henry fabric I used for this tunic and skirt. The last two pieces of the mini-wardrobe will be a rose pink linen dress (more like a long tunic) and brown linen cropped pants with ruffles, both from the April 2008 BWOF. I’ve started the dress and I’m using the Alexander Henry cotton for the bias facings, covered buttons, and the tie (the original had a drawstring, but I’m going to replace it with elastic and a tie for a faux drawstring look–a little safer too).
