Pink and Green for Spring

Okay, I like cool weather as much as the next polar bear, but come on, month after month of cold weather is just too much for me. So I went to my sewing room and "pretended" that it was warm and Spring like. Only I am just too practical and I made these spring colors that she could wear in this chilly weather.
This first jumper is out of a beautiful pink floral corduroy. I am thinking that this will look much better on my happy child than this model. I am also thinking that next year when she is wearing uniforms this might be the one I go with. I can see this in navy with a white blouse. I am hoping it is cute on. Sydney is just all excited that she can dress herself in it. Love those buttons!


Don't you just love minkey? Well, I for one would wear it always if at all possible. I made Sydney a spring jacket to wear over all the pink and green outfits I have planned for this year. After I made it, she wore it the entire afternoon. I even had to take the scraps and stitch them together for a "blanklet" for Dolly.




















I am really having fun with knits. I may never purchase another knit dress for Sydney. They are sooo easy to make myself. These coordinating fabrics were perfect for my theme for spring. I added a large S and she will be all set with a warm and cozy, yet springy outfit.

These are adorable! I love the pink and green combo- you can't go wrong with that. And I'm with you- I'm so ready for warm weather and some green on the trees I can taste it!
