Wow, that was already a year ago??? My how time zooms by!
This year, I decided I wanted to make something green and festive for Annelise to wear on St. Patrick's Day, but I also wanted something without shamrocks that she could wear all spring/summer. Here's what I came up with:
Yes, she's picking up a goldfish. I have to bribe her for photo sessions every time. That's the only way I can keep her from standing right in front of me & the camera.
Here are a few more views of the outfit:
I loved that the fabric was not bright green, but included green to match the t-shirt, and some other colors as well. Annelise has a yellow t-shirt she can wear with the bloomers, too. After I tried them on her, I realized they totally looked like clown pants. Then I thought if a 15-month-old can't pull off clown pants, who can?
And then of course we needed a matching hair clip! I've seen lots of tutorials for rolled fabric flower pins, headbands, necklaces, etc. I followed this one at Blooming Homestead to make a fabric rosette hair clip. It's not perfect, but it's not bad for my first one.
And here's a close up -- of Annelise and the clip in her hair! (This is what she tries to do when I'm not getting her to chase goldfish!)
Until next time...
Happy crafting,
Julie

Oh yeah, there are those adorable baby toes again! It's almost warm enough here for sandals, and I can't wait to see her toes every day!
Here's what I used to make this outfit:
- Pattern: Simplicity 3854 (still in print)
- 1/2 yard of fabric (Walmart, $2.50)
- Green t-shirt (Walmart, $3.50)
- 3/8" grosgrain ribbon (Walmart, not pictured, about $4)

Julie, your daughter is precious and I love the outfit! My daughter is 21 now but I used to make her cloths when she was little too! Happy St. Patricks day a little early! :)
