Outfit for Eden

Finally got this finished! Pants were actually done around the first part of the year, but top not until more than 2 weeks later.

Pants from a Japanese pattern book, 80 cm size, of a furry fleece from the Joanns remnant bin (super cheap!). Top of green cotton lycra with Urban Threads embroidery, pattern from a vintage Simplicity pattern. Baby styles really haven't changed in oh the last 30+ years too much.

Leather baby shoes

We love the leather baby shoes available in stores for little feet. I had some leather scraps so decided to try to make a pair of our own. It was my first time working with leather, but they came out well.

I used the free pattern here:

Another Ottobre 6/11 cowl neck tunic

Another Ottobre 6/11 tunic with cowl neck for Eden. This one I did unlined as a simple top. Without the lining, this goes together in a snap, and I love the A-line swingy look on her.

Baby dress from Ottobre 6/11

I love this dress on her. This one I made lined, but cut the lining shorter than the outer. In the magazine, they have the lining peep out from the bottom. The cowl neck is cute, but also very functional as it goes over the head so easily.

I even got her to stay still for the photo by showing her the ripe blueberry on the plant. She is focused on capturing it for a snack.

Ottobre 3/11

Shirt was given to us, and I made the skirt/capri combination from the last issue of Ottobre (3/11). It was sooooo easy to make, and the fit is great for her. I did a cotton lycra for the capris, fabric from fabric.com in lime, and then a Chez Ami stripe cotton jersey with little stretch for the skirt and waistband (elastic in it so the fabric didn't need the stretch there). It is such a nice trim fit and fun, while being playground friendly for hanging upside-down.

Summer PJ rompers

Last week I finished a couple rompers to use as PJs for Eden, just in time for the weather to turn chilly again! We are ready now though for some hotter weather. These are Ottobre 3/06. I left out the back zipper, and added shoulder seam snaps on the owls and just a widened neckline on the farm animals pair.

Ottobre 3/07 #28

I'm done finally with a pair of pants for Zach, Ottobre 3/07 #28, cropped cargo pants, in a ripstop material but not the usual nylon-y feel. Not sure exactly what the material is honestly, but it is a good lightweight for summer but sturdy too. These have bellows front pockets, pleated knees, one back pocket and drawstring with toggles on the legs. Zach approves!
