4th of July Duds: Cottage Home Sew-Along Reveal

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.


Mz. I has a serious love affair with hats. 
So I made her a newsboy girl(?) cap






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!
