So this week I tackled a new pattern and I am thrilled with the result. It’s from Girl’s Style Book, one of my new favorites. The best thing? I think it will actually be appreciated and worn!!! Our little friend Eliza is turning three and I’ve made this for her birthday gift. I think it will be lovely with her steel-blue eyes. (The fabric is slightly more blue than in this photo). I’m toying with the idea of making a little pair of pants or leggings to go with it, since it’s a bit too short to be a dress. It’s more of a tunic length and I think it would be extra cute with some soft denim pants, maybe with a patch pocket trimmed in this fabric for contrast. I’ll try to squeeze it in.
Also, I’ve finally decided to order some woven labels. Until I can settle on a good name for my little business venture, I don’t want to spend a fortune on custom labels so I think these will do the trick for now. I’m excited! Perhaps I’ll try to sneak one in the next thing I make for L and let her think it’s store-bought.
It might work.
