I was inspired by this adorable Princess & the Pea fabric I got from an online friend. It has a soft hand and a very large scale print. I thought it would be easy to find a co-ordinate, but it took a long time to find this simple magenta dot. I was hoping to go with something purple and this was perfect. There was only about 3/4 yd on the bolt and I wasn't sure if that would be enough for shorts as well, so I also bought it in a hot pink colorway. As it turned out, I have more princess fabric to do something with the pink dot!
I wanted to try the SIG Delaney pattern of which I had seen so many cute versions. Everyone said it was a quick and easy sew and boy, were they right! This was done in about 1/2 hour. The pieces are just rectangles. I used lime ric rac on the bottom. All of the seams are serged, so it should be a sturdy wash-n-wear outfit.
Simple bloomers complete the ensemble. Both are size 3, but they look generous to me. I bet these will fit for 2 summers.
I looked at this fabric too and couldn't figure out what I'd do with it, but you have made an adorable outfit! I love the coordinating fabric you chose!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure what to do either, but with this big print, simple was best. Did you get some of it, too?
ReplyDeleteI didn't, but after seeing how cute yours turned out, I wish I had! Isn't that the way it always goes? You've got such a good eye for possibilities :).
