Lots of Heart
The fall sewing continues. I snuck this one in yesterday. It’s made with Katie’s fabulous Round Neck Top Pattern. I followed her instructions for making a dress, although I added an inch to the length just because Honey and I like the Bits to wear slightly longer dresses.
I’d actually planned to use this fabric — two gorgeous babywale cord coordinates from Joann’s — for another outfit but once I had this idea in my head, I had to repurpose them.
Oh, am I glad I did! It’s such a fun, colorful dress, perfect for layering over a turtleneck or long-sleeved shirt once the weather turns cool. As it was, I had her pull on a pair of tights for our little photo shoot. Poor baby was sweating something fierce!
I drafted some pockets to add on the jumper because that girl is really into pockets these days. I think she needs a place to hide all the rocks “treasures” she insists on picking up.
If I can find the right fabric, I may make a tee and leggings to layer with this jumper. You know, because that’s exactly the kind of stuff I need to worry about when it’s 97 degrees outside.
If you’re interested, there’s one up in my Etsy, too.
