Tippy Top

Having already made a red version I decided a black version would be ideal for wearing underneath several of Chloe's outfits to add some layers for winter warmth. This time instead of the buttons I used popper fastenings which work well with the very fluid jersey.

Bring on the blues

Chloe is a little short on cardigans, so I thought I'd try my hand at a waterfall style cardigan in sweatshirt fabric to complete an outfit made up of a navy jersey top and a polka dot babycord skirt. I didn't have a girls pattern suitable so I combined a girls cardigan pattern from Ottobre Design with two adults patterns - one from Ottobre and another from a french magazine Coudre c'est facile. Chloe and I are both pleased with the result....

Cosy Fleece

With the lovely thick frost and wintery sunshine we had this morning a warm cosy fleece seemed appropriate!

Emely Skirt

I was looking for a simple skirt  pattern for the last of this lovely babycord, so I used the pattern Emely by Farbenmix, but without the frill or deep pockets and added a small pleated pocket with a flap and popper fastening instead.
