a really good friend of mine had her baby shower yesterday and i made her the 3 must-haves my (hypothetical) daughter would need to have in her wardrobe...
an everyday skirt, a blue jean jumper, and a brown tweed one-piece leisure suit (because we're not afraid of a little gender bending here at flour clothing).
an everyday skirt, a blue jean jumper, and a brown tweed one-piece leisure suit (because we're not afraid of a little gender bending here at flour clothing).
everyday skirt. size 3-6 mo.
[about] a medium length skirt made from thrifted fabric. i originally wanted the waistline shirred to create a wider waistband, but my stubborn elastic thread decided to not cooperate with my plans. and because i procrastinated the project until the night before, i didn't have much time to work it out. so plan B...i made 2 elastic casings instead.
blue jean jumper. size 6-12 mo
[about] go here.
leisure suit. size 12-18mo.[about] made from an extremely soft chocolate brown tweed. a jumpsuit, with elastic through the back waistband. it reminded me more of a leisure suit that my grandpa might of worn, than a jumpsuit. so, hence the name. it has short sleeves with a collar, wide pant legs, and buttons for closure up the front.
it's seen here modeled by my son. but if you squint your eyes enough, you can maybe imagine a little girl with freckles and blond hair in pigtails wearing it. kinda cute.

That leisure suit is too cute! I love your designs, and choice of fabrics.
What a great gift for your friend! Well done.
awesome leisure suit. what a dandy modeling it, too!
i think I need one. can you imagine how comfortable that would be? not to mention how easy getting dressed would become. one piece? done and done.
Love the leisure suit! What a great shower gift- some outfits to grow into.
Oh how positively lovely! I adore all three. But that leisure suit is great...great for crawling in - protects those precious knees! I love the lining on the denim skirt so pretty.
Can't wait to see your shop update, glad to hear that you had a relaxing break...sounded like it was a much needed repose!
hey - i have that butterfly fabric too! the leisure suit is adorable, as is the child. what a nice space you have here....
I love the looks of leisure suit. I definitely want one of those for my baby girl. Cannot wait to see your 2008 fall/winter collections. ;-)
With great anticipation,
Jade :-)
wow ... your clothes are sooooo cute!

I LOVE this little "Parisian night suit" and I have a son who's wearing 12-18 month clothes right now. Coincidence that I found it now? I think not.
(I also love the show, Freaks and Geeks which I quoted at the beginning of my comment.)
"trop beau"
