This was almost a fail. I got in a bit over my head. I can admit that. The pattern I was drafting was a little beyond my experience/ability. I had never worked with silky, slinky fabric like this before. The finished product looks pretty good - but the fit was off - too much gaping in the back. I put it aside.
I'm glad I hung it in the closet instead of giving up on it completely, though, because today I decided to try it on, just to see how she had grown into it. I didn't think she'd be wearing it today since it wasn't too hot, so I just threw it on over the onesie she had slept it. Still too gaping in the back to wear alone - but totally cute layered! So I switched to a clean onesie, slipped on some leggings, and we had an outfit. Hurray!
She was, as usual, impossible to photograph from the front. Seriously - how do you do it? It looks like I blurred out her face in these pictures. I didn't. She just wouldn't stop moving.
Except to play with my old dollhouse.
My grandparents made me that dollhouse when I was little. It's currently residing at my mom's house. I've already started planning the remodel. I'm thinking that'll be her third birthday gift - if I can wait that long...
Love this! It's looks so very, very cute on your daughter! And the racerback is such a great feature:) Good for you for sewing outside your comfort zone:)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! This is one of the few things I've made her that I'm actually really jealous of and wish was in my size - ha! (sorry for the late reply - thank you for commenting!)
