kid's clothes week...

Sooooo...I didn't quite sew up the storm for Kid's Clothing Week that I had envisioned because life got in the way as it tends to do. But I did finish up at least one outfit - a pretty cute one, at that. All's well that ends well, right? I've really enjoyed checking out all the amazing clothes people whipped up last week - so much inspiration!  I had originally planned to make Straight Grain's Bubble Dress along with Rae's Geranium Dress but my lack of yardage required a change in plans. I ended up making a Geranium top along with some adorable bubble pocket shorts using Elegance and Elephant's awesome pattern.

The kiddo loved the top so much she cried when I tried to take it off so I'd say that was a success. I'm excited that the shorts fit since store bought shorts can be hit or miss...usually if they fit in the waist then they're too short in length. I'm definitely going to have to make more of these shorts soon - they're just too cute!
