Twirly skirt And Collared Blouse

Twirly skirt And Collared Blouse

Pattern: Bananafana Polka Skirt  And 

Pattern "D" Grils Clothing - Heart Warming Life Series

I made the blouse in a size 110 (4) for my 3.5 year old daughter. 

I decided it would be a little long and may cover too much of the skirt 

so I decided to cut 2 inches off the bottom.

Once she tried it on with the skirt I realised the top was probably a little big 

and perhaps I should have left it the original length but kept it until she grew.

Oh well, too late now.

We decided to team the skirt with a plain t-shirt

which looks sweet.

I love this Alexander Henry fabric.

It is called Love City or City Love, I can't remember, lol.

And giant ric rac adds a bit of fun to any outfit ;)

Rainbow Skirt

Patten: Ava Twirl Skirt

I have been begging my daughter to cut her fringe and she insisted that she did not want it cut. 

I tried to bribe her with a reward of a rainbow skirt and she said YES!

I love the Ava Twirl Skirt by FemiKidsCouture.

I have made it before and it was a favourite of my girl.

It is a very simple pattern, just time consuming 

because of the meters of ruffles it requires.

I added an additional panel to the top of the skirt 

so I was able to get a bigger range of colours into it. 

It really is a perfect skirt for a little girl.

Perfect for twirling.

I am super happy with the simplicity and sweetness of this little skirt.

Next time I might make a pink skirt, using different gradients of pink.

I'll let you know when I'm done :) 

Ikea Inspired Outfit

Pattern: Oliver+ S Swingset Tunic 

and

Bananafana Polka Skirt 

I went to Good Sammy's the other day and enjoyed 50% all recycled items.

I picked up an adorable Ikea doona cover which I turned into this little outfit.

To be honest I struggled a little to understand the instructions for this top.

Once I finished it, it made a lot more sense.

Turned out pretty cute :)

I love this skirt pattern.

I have made quite a few of them. 

It is a pity it only goes up to size 3, 

although I don't think it would be hard to size it up.

I used a little piece of Peppa Pig ribbon to mark the back so my 

daughter can easily work out which way the skirt goes. 

And an outfit is no complete without a matching hairbow.

I though these shoes would look totally cute too!

Now all we need is some nice warm weather :)
