I love, love, love Mz. I's new outfit.
I was hesitant about making this pattern
, since the XS size was 2T-3T, and my little girl comfortably fits into 18m, but it was really easy to modify the pattern. When cutting out the top, I measured one of Mz. I's shirts whose length I liked, and adjusted the length of the cut piece. The width I figured would be fine - the design is
more blouse-y than fitted.

I love it!
The shorts were basically the same - I measured an existing pair that she had and modified the pattern slightly. I shortened the waist
and legs, and brought the seams in about 1/2" to accommodate
her tiny legs.
Love, love {L-O-V-E} the shorts!
(and the little bows!)
(and this little bow, you can only see when she
shows off her belly button!)

When listing the fabric requirements for this pattern, Lindsay promised there would be enough leftover for whatever accessories we wanted to make.
I. Just. Love it!
Did I mention that this pattern, while complicated looking, was really quite simple?
Thank you Lindsay, for hosting this great sew-along!
