So, this little peanut will be starting Kindergarten in about a month, and what's a crafty girl to do, but go into major dress production?
I was flipping through the top children's fashion sites and saw this adorable dress from Mini Boden
and thought to myself "Self, you can make that!'
So I grabbed a pattern for a basic jumper and added a face and ears.
The mouse came out so cute, I let her pick out fabric for a cat.
I had this knit dress cut out for about a year, so I finished that one up.The original jumper pattern had a version with this faux Peter Pan collar, so I did one in this amazing Space Baby fabric. When I saw it in the shop I audibly gasped. I had made an outfit for The Elder when she was 6 months old (that particular lady is 13 now!)
Also on the Mini Boden site there were a lot of applique dresses and so I tried that too.
The Youngest is also my Last, so I feel a little extra pressure to get these made before she decides that she doesn't want homemade clothes anymore.

That dress is too cute. The ears just kill me! Wish I had your sewing skills.
