Hard to believe I haven’t posted in over a month. With all the trips here and there, I have been managed to keep a bit of knitting and sewing alive.
Last night, I finished making H the Swingset Tunic and Skirt for her upcoming third birthday. Since she seems to have shot up so quickly, I made both in 4T.
I modified the skirt pattern to make the skirt reversible. I did this by creating an additional set of button holes, so the tie can be use on both sides.
For both the tunic and the skirt, I used fabric from Amy Butler’s Midwest Modern (the Ohio Sky series).
I found the chick buttons at a local yarn shop.
Here is a photo of H wearing the skirt today along with a top I made for her last summer.
On the knitting front, I am still chugging along on the chunky cabled sweater for J. I’m half way through the second sleeve.
SO ADORABLE!
Wow, great idea to make the skirt reversible! Happy Birthday Hazel! Can’t believe she is almost 3… can’t wait to see Jonah’s sweater.
