I made this little outfit for Fiona a while back. I was on a sewing high and made up a bunch of stuff for both the girls.
This was from a cheap Simplicity pattern, I'd link but I can't remember what it was, it doesn't matter though, the pattern sucked. I have so many mistakes in these two articles of clothing, and although I will take credit for a few of them, the pattern made no sense at all in many, many places.
After the top was done, I had to reseam it all over the place because otherwise she looked like an overweight clown. I am pleased with the shorts though, I've never made pants before and I thought they would be soooo hard, but they were easy and fun. Plus, she wears them fairly often, they are nice and stained now, sure sign that they're comfy. I definitely plan on making more pants for my kids this fall, just need to find a decent pattern.
And Mary Lou, I dedicate all these pictures to you :-)
We were playing in the backyard, and Fiona and Jarvis were being friendly.

Simon, isn't he big! When did this happen?
LOVE the photos of your sweet kiddies.

Goodness me, you take the most wonderful kid pictures. Granted, it's easy when the kids in question are this cute and well-dressed, but still... those are amazing.

Is Simon walking?! When did this happen? Please say it wasn't when y'all were still here, cause that would make me a bad relative! I love Finona's outfit. Making children's clothing is the best.
