...but this time for a different little girl. I didn't expect to have sewing time at this stage of my life, but I'm led to believe that when Charlie starts growing up a bit my sewing time disappears. So, while he's sleepy I'm trying to make the most of it and made this little pinafore for my 2.5 year old niece. It's from a fabulous Japanese book with patterns for toddlers - both boys and girls for a change! A pleasant change if you have a boy, and I do believe there will be a few things cranked out from this book over the next couple of years. The ISBN is 978-4-579-11184-8, and it's worth tracking down if you have little ragamuffins in your life. I bought my copy at Kinokuniya in Sydney.
It went together surprisingly quickly, and I'm pretty pleased with it. I used a lightweight striped denim, and the yoke facing is a rodeo novelty fabric - perfect for my niece growing up in the country with horses (and a passion for them).
And I actually have something else to blog about, but I've just got a wee bit of hand finishing to get out of the way first. Happy days.
And joy of all joys, my gorgeous boy slept for 11 hours straight last night at the ripe old age of 7 weeks. Good boy!
That dress is very cute.
And I am SO JEALOUS. Ali didn't sleep for more than 3 hours for 12 months. You definitely got lucky to have a fabulous sleeping baby.
