Maeve was eyeing them up!<br />Oh...I will have to be more careful what I write! Having said it was "always and excuse for a new outfit", I have to say, I only remember two outfits, the jumpsuit, and another year's black/white polka-dot skirt & jacket. I am guessing I was bought these because I owned nothing else suitable for wearing in public! I hardly had an extensive wardrobe!Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345822230344288078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155243672133235939.post-12665514456406881792012-06-09T20:29:43.293+01:002012-06-09T20:29:43.293+01:00As always really great sewing.

But hers (cough!) was not handmade! Never mind. I never got bought anything by the way school trip or not, always the indulged younger one!!Older and more bossy sister!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155243672133235939.post-57851256474411836402012-06-02T19:59:11.975+01:002012-06-02T19:59:11.975+01:00Thanks Amanda..the pink is quite coral-y, so it wa...Thanks Amanda..the pink is quite coral-y, so it was easier to steer away from trying to match pinks. This is one of the fabrics I have had forever, that my poor mother hauled home from the US for me!<br /><br />Thanks Mise..I was worried that she would be a bit old for it, but she looks good in most things!<br /><br />Thank you Justine...I think Rosie would look lovely in the Zephyr. Go for it! <br /><br />Thanks Katherine h...The buttons were kind of a fluke, but I love how the sit flat against her legs. Nice and tidy, especially with the already floppy shoulder ties.<br /><br />Thank you Jne4sl...Your daughter would look lovely in a playsuit too. They do seem very comfortable, although I had my doubts! I think the fact that it is made with knits makes it extra comfy.<br /><br />Thanks Sarah...Maeve is 56 inches tall, if it's any use to know. Grace is another girl who would look lovely in this style!<br /><br />Thanks Cindy...everything is from my stash...it was scary and good to use the MW knit!<br /><br />Thank you Camille...the Scirroco is so lovely too, but sadly no takers for it in this house!<br /><br />Thank you so much Nicole! Colm has a shirt in almost the same colours, I love them together!Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345822230344288078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155243672133235939.post-88098636275296854482012-06-01T03:45:35.431+01:002012-06-01T03:45:35.431+01:00I love your version Millie and heavenly colours!I love your version Millie and heavenly colours!motherof5https://www.blogger.com/profile/10195031588051037622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155243672133235939.post-83994501153234253452012-05-31T18:11:10.164+01:002012-05-31T18:11:10.164+01:00Love this!

I've had my eye on this style for a while, too. I definitely liked them as a kid but haven't actually gotten the request from my daughter. I think all the modifications you've made a great, especially the bottom band of the shorts. I always like ties and blousing in pattern photos but find them impractical and not as flattering in action. Love the fabrics, too.Jne4slhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02709409881841287562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155243672133235939.post-41891510988668215912012-05-31T11:50:04.531+01:002012-05-31T11:50:04.531+01:00You have made some pretty cute details on this pla...You have made some pretty cute details on this playsuit.
