Fall is Here

I love fall. I love it so much that I bought material to make outfits specifically for fall. I don't mean pumpkins or halloween faces or even turkeys. But beautiful fabrics of brown, pumpkin orange, yellow the color of garden squash and gray like the fall sky. It might not be for everyone, but I love it and it sure works for these beauties.

For my baby girl I made a tunic shirt and paired it with some great brown and white polka dot tights from a local department store. The shirt is longer so she can wear it now as a tunic and probably again next fall as a shirt. With the lace trim on the sleeves, elastic neckline and fabric rose with a button on the front, these fabrics look feminine.

For my older girl, I chose to use all the fabrics together in a strip work shirt. This jumper style is usually made in a dress (see pic below) but I chose to make this as a tunic shirt as well. I used the same white trim and velvet ribbon in yellow to coordinate their outfits without matching exactly. Again, I bought brown pants from a local store to make it a full outfit. She absolutely loved it and fit in great at the pumpkin patch. :)

Here's a close up of the back. A shirred back and button closure ensures a comfortable fit from now until next year.

As I mentioned above, this style can make an adorable dress. If you really like pattern and color, this is a great option for your little one.

Another close up of her dress with lace trim, velvet ribbon (can you tell I love that stuff?) and button front. Email me for sizing and prices. Only 2 available in the fall colors.
