Finished!

I finished Kaitlyn's top and pants. I should have put a long sleeve shirt on her for the picture, but I grabbed a short sleeve onesie and goodness my child is white. I now know if you are going to wear bright clothes you need a colored top too or you look pasty. I would now like to present one pasty child. LOL...

New Tops

I tried out the patterns I mentioned a few post back. Here's the stripwork top.

The day I finished this one the fabric for her Easter outfit arrived. I really need to order the ribbon so I'll have it in time. Now don't judge the top because of how she looks. She is still in her PJs without a bow in her hair. I'll admit she's looking a bit rough this morning. Around her feet is a purse I made to match her top. This top goes well with a light blue pair of blue jeans she has and a yellow flower clip in her hair.

Last night I was almost finished with the dress top pattern when I ran out of thread. =( I had to call it quits when I was almost done. I still need to put the elastic in and finish top stitching. Being the impatient type I put the top on her and pinned it up.

The booty really isn't this big on the dress nor is Kaitlyn's booty that big. Remember I pinned the dress in the back. There should be elastic there. It's much cuter in real life. When my fabric arrive in the mail I was disappointed to learn the fabric for the pants was out of stock so... Kaitlyn is pants less. I actually had just enough of the top material to make two ruffles I'm going to add to some cheap Walmart pants that are to long for her anyway. If I don't get the ribbon in time this may end up being her Easter outfit.

Maybe this is a little better view. I couldn't keep her still while I snapped pictures. She thought it was funny to walk to me and fall into my lap. Goodness my child is looking homely today.

Easter Outfit

Easter's coming so it's time to start thinking about what Kaitlyn will wear. I have been searching online for several weeks now for the right dress or outfit. Nothing has struck me as "the one" so I kept hunting. I finally went to a site called You Can Make This (click on one of the adds to check out the site) and picked out two ebooks. I haven't started them yet. I'm hoping the top comes out looking something like this...

And the bottoms look like these...

I'm excited to give them a try. I'll have to show pictures next month when I get it done.
