I finally decided it was time to make a complete outfit.  Yes, I do admit that I make things just because I feel like it and then of course end up with nothing that matches in my girl’s wardrobes.  So most of the time they mix and match (quite haphazardly I might add) at their whim. 

Just a simple peasant style tunic/dress/whatever you want to call it.  Some knit striped leggings made from a dress I bought for a few bucks at old navy and a cute little corduroy belt. 

Natalie’s been into belts lately, so I thought she’d like it with this top, to make it look less like a potato sack.  The top is made with a double gauze Trefle print by Kokka that I picked up a Crafty Planet a while back.

She wore it to school – so that’s a good sign!

A staple in our house.  When we run out of leggings to wear I know it’s been too long since I’ve done laundry.  And yes, most of the time I’m perfectly happy buying them at target or old navy.  But since I have the pattern and it’s kids clothes week, I figured I might as well use up some knits!

I had gotten the polka dots at Hobby Lobby a looong time ago.  It’s not really a high quality knit, but it’ll work for these four little legs. 

I did choose to make the waist bands taller on both pairs like Ashley suggests, seems to help make them stay put better.  And making these are just why I love my serger that much more. 

stay close to meeee…

Just kidding. But I can’t get that song out of my head.

My first project for Kids Clothes Week Challenge going on over at Elsie Marley.

I had gotten the diamond mine voile a while back with intentions of making something for Natalie. She used to love the color red, and now she’s migrating towards pink, but only because all her friends at school love pink.

Turns out she loves it. And I love it.

I omitted the v-notch at the neckline and used a longer pattern piece than the blouse piece. I wanted it to be more of a tunic length, you know, to go with her new jeggings. I love to tease her about her jeggings.
