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.

How cute, Mary! Love the hearts. So cute! I’m the same with my girls, I prefer they wear them a bit longer

It was the pockets that really caught me eye–I like the linear pattern on top of such a fun, floral one–and I love the way you positioned them on the angle–as usual–ADORABLE!
Blessings!

Okay, that was supposed to say ‘my eye’ as opposed to ‘me eye’–thereby rendering me to sounding like Mr Crabs on Sponge Bob….

This is just lovely. I love the colorful heart print. It looks great on Leisl and I know she’ll enjoy wearing it when the season changes and it finally cools off.

Oh, I just LOVE what you have listed in your Etsy shop. If only my kids didn’t ruin their clothes the first time they wore them . . . . (sigh)

This is going to be that perfect transitional summer to fall dress isn’t it? The colors are just right for that…
