I thought a metre and a half of fabric would be enough for a shorts-and-shirt set for a six year old. Wrong -
again!
It didn't help that it's a one way print, but in truth, no matter how I fiddled, I wasn't going to get shorts and a shirt out. Luckily the pattern also has a skirt version, which did fit on the fabric, so I went with that. For once I even put the pockets in. A skirt is less practical than shorts, but there you go, life is the art of the possible.
That is an adorable outfit! I agree that a skirt is less practical than shorts, but there are times when a skirt just fits the bill.
ReplyDeleteLovely set and a pocket, how many skirts do you buy these days and no pockets, well done I am sure she will look good in them
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderful!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe young girls around here wear shorts under their skirts, and in the winter-leggings. It seems that slips have almost vanished(although, I still prefer a slip!). :)
It's adorable! My 6-year old girls loved skirts!
ReplyDeleteWell done and I adore the skirt and top.
ReplyDeleteGreat skirt and lovely fabric. Is there a breeze and thus you need to weight down the pattern?
ReplyDelete:-) no, I always use books and things to hold pieces in place while I arrange the pattern pieces. Once I'm sure where they'll go, I pin and then cut.
