1-3 Pinwheel Dress with added peter pan collar.
7-9 Sydney Pinafore
10-12 Greta Doll
This weeks Kids Clothes Week came early
for me as I knew I would be on the road for the actual week. I also
needed a few staple items for our adventure so our last week in
Melbourne I was glued to the sewing machine, creating and mending.
The pinwheel dress is a favorite of mine when paired with a lovely
colorful fabric. It was inspired by the early sixties children's
fashion, a Sally Draper when she was still a little cherub and before
her tween wild child days. It is perfect for when you're heading
somewhere a little snazzy but leaves room for childhood twirls and
whirls. The Soleil apron dress is the perfect outfit for a sunny
holiday or those unbearable Aussie heatwaves. It leaves the back open
for a cool breeze and still keeps them in style. The Sydney Pinafore is perfect
for those kids (like mine!) who hate getting dressed, its easy to
slip over their head while chasing them down the corridor, you can
pop it right on before they even know what hit them! And finally the
Greta Doll... I wanted a rag doll for my baby-lovin lady and since I
am the master of procrastination I didn't have time for trial and
error DIY since I sewed her together the eve before our trip so I
bought this pattern and I am so glad I did. It's super cute with a
lot of alternatives and theres even a fella you can stitch up to
accompany her if you so wish.
Off to Scotland, Hope you had a great KCW!
