These are some pants and a t-shirt from Ottobre that we're very grateful to you for the connection. These fabrics (which don't show too well) happen to be old scraps I used simply to fit colors for her choir group. It was a last-minute can I sew quicker than it would take to deal with shopping. Many thanks from a beginner. :)

Made this for my sister with your 'A Girl's Best Friend' Wallet

but it's a wonderful pattern!

Sew Talented drawing entry

2008-02-29T11:57:00.000-08:00

Hi Sewzanne,

I'd like to enter this darlin' outfit in you Sew Talented Drawing. I made this ensemble from the Ottobre issues that I ordered from you. I just ADORE Ottobre! They have the cutest clothing by far!

Ottobre issues 03-2007 and 01-2008. From issue 03-2007 I used pattern 3, Pants with Frills and combined them with patterns 3, "Baby Deer Pinafore Dress" and Pattern 4, "Maya Blouse" from issue 01-2008 to achieve this.

For the Pants and blouse I used Hoffman of California's "Victoriana" 100% cotton, that I purchased about a year ago. For the pinafore I used 100% cotton embroidered Batiste. For the pants and pinafore lining, off white batiste.
1.5" ruffled eyelet for the frills on the pants and white grograin ribbon for trim. My little piping foot got put to use again for the piping on the pinafore....I love making my own piping; that was a great $30 investment for the foot! If you don't have one, I highly recommend getting one!

Thanks and warm regards,

~Connie

Thanks so much for helping me match some knits! They look great as you can
see from the attached pics. I had to include the modeled version. It's my
daughter's doll, Sophie, but she fits into 3-6 month clothing just about
right. I have a few more things to make with the rest of the knits and
obviously some snaps to attach but I couldn't wait to show you what I had
made so far.
Thanks again! Rena P.

Hi Suzanne,

I just wanted to share this pic with you! The t-shirts are the knit I
just ordered a couple weeks ago. Thank you for shipping so quick as
this was a bit of a rush to get them done for a wedding we were going to
in Colorado! The girls got SO many compliments on their outfits.
