One of the things Kathryn wanted us to do when I went to visit was to make some capri pants for Katelyn along with a top. She couldn’t find much in the store that just really wowed her; we might have had a bit of trouble coming up with ideas because we had the kids with us! Once she started looking at eyelet trims though she was able to decide pretty quickly what she would do….she bought red gingham for the outfit and had me monogram on the front of it. It took way longer than either one of us thought it would to finish but there were babies to tend to, clothes to wash and meals to do all in between times. I didn’t get to see Katelyn in it yet but am hoping for pictures soon. She looks like she could be such a girly girl to me but she really has an aversion to trying things on or playing dress up! I didn’t know little girls were like that 😆 Kathryn said she sometimes will bribe her with a cookie to try new clothes on.
Here’s the fruit of my labor for the last few days, and I thought it turned out really cute…..

That’s adorable! I love the eyelet trim. Little girls are so much fun to sew for, aren’t they?

Oh my goodness, Gail, that is too cute for words! Every time you make something, I get this tremendous urge to go sit down at my sewing machine…but of course, I never seem to find the time 🙁
Can’t wait to Katelyn wearing it!

It is so cute. I’m going to show it to mom and tell her
Izzy needs one too, except she doesn’t monogram and that’s what makes it really cute! Oh well!
You do great on all your projects Gail!

Oh, Gail, it is precious! I’ve always had a “thing” for gingham fabrics….maybe because as a child probably 1/2 of what my mom made for me was different colors of gingham. My girls aren’t as big of fans of gingham as I am 🙂
I need to make some capris and top outfits for my girls for this summer….I’m having SUCH a hard time finding modest clothes for these girls anymore! I guess that is a sure sign that it is time to hit the sewing machine again 🙂
Blessings,
Lori

Cute! I want to see her in it 🙂 I bet she will love trying on clothes in another year or so, and playing dress-up too. I picture her like that too, but hey, if she wants to be a tomboy, we’ll love her just the same 🙂

So sweet! Why is it that gingham is always so fun and never loses it’s appeal?

It did turn out cute. I hated pink and frills when I was little. Scamp loves dress up and buying new clothes and shoes though! To this day I won’t wear pastel pink!

I bet she is going to look *adorable* in it!

You know, what if she turns out to be the biggest tom-boy you’ve ever seen? And she only wants to wear blue jeans and t-shirts and tennis shoes?
Is that one of your biggest nightmares? 🙂
That is a cute outfit, though! Good job!
