As summer wound down on its slim spool, I made a tardy gift for a sweet baby girl, stayed up far too late to make a ruffle and add some length to what I thought might be a too-short top, then dressed my toddler son in it right before leaving for church to make sure it would fit her. (Test-driving gifts is a bad habit of mine.)
Ha. Yup. It'll fit.
As with nearly everything I make, I used things passed along to me or picked up for pennies, and I was grateful once again to be a greedy fabric packrat. Thanks a million for the beautiful hand-crocheted lace, Titi!
The day before I sewed on the buttons, I was given these sunny yellow ones. Again-- perfect! Thank you, people who do what they should and pare down their notions!
I was completely distracted by the realization that Aidan looks really good in headbands. What a waste of a perfectly good headband-head!
I don't have a picture of Ineke in the outfit, but believe me when I say she looked cuter in it than Aidan did, and that's saying something.
*I altered a vintage pattern for the pinafore (which nearly killed me), winged the headband, and followed this awesome tutorial for diaper covers. Sometimes, I really love the internet.
Boy Ineke! - I am not sure who wears it best!
ReplyDeleteAnd you are absolutely right about that headband head. The hairstyle totally works too!
