What a girl!!! She loves nice dresses, if possible new dresses every single day LOL then remembered how my mom always try to make clothes for me, I think it's my turn , now, to repay it to my daughter, Regina.
So we decided to try to make a jumper for her, it will be nice to make one in the earthtone colors, and I am thinking about made it double sided, so it will be warm enough to be worn during cold winter day. So I bought this book - Japanese autumn-winter children sewing pattern book from EBAY
This book contains 43 patterns for clothes and goods for Children for size (tall) 100 - 140 cms.
All the stuff in this book is super cute, but some of them are also super complicate to make. I am kind of give up, even before I tried, for some smock dresses pattern.
After spending about 1 month time to study one of the jumper's pattern, I decided to give a try on it. In worse scenario, it will be her pijama instead LOL....tell me I am desperate !!!
She wanted in Purple, she choose a solid purple fabric and a polka dots (also in purple), but I found out those color will make her looks older. I tried to persued her to go with dark brown and a nice beige-pink cherry blossom fabrics. She finally gave me an OK
It tooks me about 2 meters of fabrics (in total), 1 meters of velvet ricrac trim, and 2 days time..I finally came up with my first ever handmade jumper...................
It will just a perfect outfit for autumn, spring and summer. All she needs is either a long or a short sleeves t-shirt inside and she is ready to go.
