Babushka

I haven't done any sewing since my last post, but I have managed a photo, albeit complete with a rather large dribble!

This is the Babushka Pinafore from Ottobre Spring 09. I've made this pattern before, and it goes together really easily. It's made from scraps from the linus overalls I made last year.

The blouse is the Maya Blouse from Spring 08. I didn't realise it was 3/4 sleeves until it was done - you couldn't really tell from the magazine picture. It doesn't matter though, because it's for spring, and she shoves all her sleeves up to her elbow anyway.

The fabric is from spotlight, and is a print of patchwork. The same collection of fabric also included some of the prints, so I got as many of them as I could find.

In her hands is a matching dolly I made from the applique - just added a seam allowance around the edge, made a back and stuffed.

She's also into hats in a big way, which is great... it was always a complete battle to get her big sister into a hat, but A doesn't think she's properly dressed without a hat and gumboots.
