Kids Clothes Week :: Day 2

I normally try to post a little earlier in the day, but in addition to being Kids Clothes Week it’s also spring break for Arden.  We spent the day today exploring a bit in our new state and went to Sandy Hook for some beach time.  After we got home, we dashed to Arden’s elementary school for some quick photos.

Here are the modeled photos of the dress I shared flat yesterday.

… and here’s the back with a preview of Hadley in her new LOL Swing Top out of a deer panel, also from Bambiblauw.

Because this isn’t just any ol’ fabric, I made a size 6 even though Hadley wears a size 5T.  With the rate she grows I wanted to be sure she’d get to wear it as much as possible.  Also as the girls’ sizes are converging, I figure there’ll be a bit of clothing sharing.  I’m already seeing that some things I’ve bought or made with one in mind ends up being favored by the other.

The only modification I made to the pattern is to make it slightly narrower in the back, because the pattern piece for the back was wider than the panel.  It still has swing to spare!

I used the small repeat part of the panel for the bottom of the back, and I had enough of the front panel left to make the yoke with the confetti at the top.  The yoke is lined with the small deer.

Hadley is sporting a pair of Freshly Picked moccasins that I bought from my friend Sarah of EmmylouBeeDoo/LouBeeClothing/Red Bird Kids.  Her daughter didn’t care for them, but Hadley wore them to bed the first night we had them!
