leisure world

untitled_01

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).

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

jump. jump.

[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.

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.

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!

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.)
