Even though it's all winterwonderland outside our house, I've decided to sew a first spring/summer outfit for my 3 year old. She already has enough winter clothes, but all her t-shirts and most of her shorts won't fit anymore this summer.
I must confess that there are no stripes in this outfit. I read the challenge in a "polka dots and/or stripes" kind of way. Well, I still wanted to show what I've made as I'm deeply in love with this whole outfit. It looks so charming when she wears all of it together, but take blue or white shorts a white blouse or a blue t-shirt and you have tons of outfits all in one! And they will all look really sweet...
So about the different: pieces: the tunic is from burda (www.burdastyle.com/pattern_store/patterns/52010-tunic-top...) and the shorts are peek-a-boos bubble shorts (www.peekaboopatternshop.com/product/bubble-shorts-3-mos-8...). I haven't made any changes to the patterns as these are both my very first tunic and my very first shorts. I'm very proud about the 8 buttons in the back of the tunic, since I've only once before made buttonholes and am still quite afraid of them. I put the hair band together using different pieces of the remaining fabric and think it really adds to the look.
Regarding the photo shoot: I hope you enjoy the pictures of our little indoors picnic as much as I do. Ronja really loved to have this picnic with her favorite stuffed animals Miezi (the cat) and Herr Nilson (the monkey - he got his name from Pippi Longstockings monkey...). Btw in some pictures you can see her undershirt peek through at the neck line - well she won't wear a undershirt in summer...
