I didn't make her a dress because honestly I didn't want to. Such a great reason, I know. But good enough for me! I also wanted to use the tank in a way that would be a little unexpected, so I used it to make a scarf neck cardigan. No, I didn't use the shirt pattern to make the shirt...I make lots of sense. I like the long, drapey, comfortable look of this cardigan and the black and white polkadots are super fun.
I used the tank as a base then extended the front 11" and made some dolman sleeves. Easy peasy and comfy womfy for my wittle wovey dovey.
The shirt without the cardi is hilarious. I had no intenton of making a guinea pig shirt, but when I asked my kid what her favorite animal was, she said "Guinea Pig". Challenge accepted! The pattern I used was the Skipper Top by Sew Much Ado. I just did a little colorblocking and busted out the iron-on transfers.
The Pants are the Nightfox Pant by Puperita. These pants are so super comfy and I want them for me. I've made them for my son before and he loves them too. I totally dig a pattern I can use for both of my kiddos. My cheap little heart sings.
Well, that's it! I hope you like it and can't wait to see what all everyone else links up. There's some great stuff already <3

GUINEA FREAKIN PIGS!!!!! Can you make this for me??? I seriously just want to be wrapped up in comfy cozy stuff that is super fashionable. And yes, Guinea pigs are all the rave. And I love her gappy smile!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat shirt is awesome, and I love the pants too--all of it is so great and cozy together! My daughter won't stray too far out of the pink-and-purple-dress-or-skirt zone, so I just have to admire other people's stuff!
