Pattern mash-up

Recently a family member asked me to make something for their daughter... They sent me a reference shot showing the buttons/collar and red...

I decided to have a go because after all who doesn't enjoy a bit of a challenge. I combined the Little Lizard King sunsuit pattern with the neckline and peter pan collar of Straight Grain's Bubble Dress pattern. I was not sure if it was going to work out, but after some fiddling and trial and error it worked out okay. Here is what I ended up with...

Pattern: Straight Grain's Bubble Dress with Little Lizard King's Sunsuit pattern. 

Fabric: White woven fabric I had laying around for the collar, super soft red cotton lawn for body from Spotlight.

Buttons: Vintage score from a second hand store.

Elastic: 1" elastic for back. Underwear elastic for around legs (makes life so much easier then encasing it)

Tutorial coming soon I promise!

Just a quick update today...

I have been very busy with picking up more hours at work and finishing my degree. I have one more exam to go on Wednesday and then I will spend Thursday madly sewing a bunch orders to post out Friday (I will try to remember to take photos to share with you). 

As promised the 'draft your kids underwear pattern' tutorial is coming up - probably next week as there won't be enough time until then.

I will leave you with these pictures for now though... 

Hello Wonderful people,

I have been distant lately as I have done the following: Moved house, started a new job, started a second new job, gone back to uni and sewed more then my weight in kids clothes (slight exaggeration).

Here are some pictures from a recent holiday to Singleton to visit my wife's bestie.

Some pictures from the move.

My favourite custom orders of last month.

 Thanks for stopping by! I will give an update soon. 

Just a quick shout out to the treasuries who have featured some of my clothes.
