whimsy couture

So, it's been a while!

Please don't think that means I haven't been sewing, though.

Oh, no. In the time since I've written, I made three huge (like Ikea bag huge) completely lined denim bags for carrying music stands (for my choir) and embellished (read: bleached, dyed, ruffled, flowered) upwards of 10 tee shirts for friends. I've been so swamped with projects that I haven't even taken pictures or blogged about them.

But this one is different!

One of the blogs I follow is Whimsy Couture. I love her patterns (found in her Etsy shop -- um, 4500 sales!) but haven't yet bought any.  Imagine my delight when I happened to check my Google Reader just a few minutes after Whimsy posted a need for pattern-testers!  I jumped on the chance to test her pattern for Knot Overalls, and here is the result.  I love them, and Sophia does, too!  Even after I took them off her, she carried them around.

I LOVE this pattern.  It is so simple, takes very little fabric (I paid $8 for this, and I could make 1, maybe 2 more) and looks adorable.  I'll be sure to let you know when it gets published, so you can make them, too!

I really can't even deal with how cute that is. And her little hair curls are making me want to cry.

This is so stinking cute! I wish I had a little girl to dress all cute and frilly. You have two adorable girls!

These are so cute! I'm glad I've found your blog through your comment--thanks by the way! I am really impressed by people with vocal talent, I cannot sing at all. Looking forward to getting to know you through the blogs!
