First day of school today. I stayed up all night finishing these to amazing pieces for my darling little girls back to school wardrobe. They are both from my favorite book Sewing Clothes Kids Love. The first is the Manhattan Dress pattern. It is a great pattern because it is instantly reversible and had a 2 tiered skirt. I made this one with Asian inspired fabrics.
The second is the Silver Lake Jacket. I put the hood from the Imke pattern on it. We had so much fun finding the right embroidery/appliques for this jacket. The fabric is a great water resistant tablecloth fabric from Ikea with a super soft aqua hounds-tooth cotton lining. With it being so cold and windy around here I figured this would be the perfect windbreaker/rain coat. But apparently mother nature has a different idea. She has decided to finally hit us with summer temps the first week of school.
And yes, if you were wondering if her hair looks green and blue in that picture, it is. She has been wanting to color her hair for weeks and we have tried many different things. We finally found these great clip in hair extensions in so many colors. They are perfect for a wee little girl who has so much to express.
