I have been playing with knits this past week. These were all done in about 3 days! Most are the new CC pattern that just came out. I just lengthened the sleeves and added some leggings I made to match them. Doesn't this first one look like something from Pucci? I love all the wild colors in it. 
This pink and purple top and pants outfit was Kwik Sew 2596. I just did a straight sleeve instead of the band. I couldn't do a dress out of this because for some reason I only had one yard of each of these coordinates. 
This pink and brown outfit is my favorite. It looks like something from a catalog. If I do say so myself! And the knit is really soft and cozy! Makes me wish I could wear this type of outfit! Hey, I think in the 80's I did! 
And you knew I would find some apple fabric now didn't you? I did this one short sleeved and she wore it yesterday and loved every comfy minute of it! I had to tweak this pattern some because it only goes up to size 4. I added 2 inches to the sleeves to get them long and added 4 inches to get the length right. I can see that soon I will need to maybe add some more to the front and back so it will stay at the edge of her shoulder. But for this fall and winter these are fine. I am most excited about cutting down all that ironing time!

Oh I love the apple dress! My dd Lu had a dress exactly like that when she was small (a McCalls Cozy Togs pattern...do they still do those?) and she wore it to DEATH. It was her favorite garment. I made her several, in flannel with long sleeves for winter and in knit with short sleeves for summer.
But all of your clothes are always spectactular!
