Something special for sweet Kayla!
I made this little outfit for my friend's little girl last September (2015) when she started preschool at 3 years old.
I used some fabrics from my stash and a purchased knit collared shirt. I hand embroidered a little dog in simple stem stitch, satin stitch, and little granitos. I outlined the collar in a red running stitch and changed out the buttons (stitched with red floss).

| Doggy hand embroidery: a Pinterest find. |
No pattern was used for the skirt but I hemmed the bottom with ribbon on the right side of the fabric.

| The little dog button is from a collection that must be over 70 years old that was given to me by a friend. The buttons were her mother's. I really loved seeing this on Kayla when I would see her with her classmates on the playground. It has gotten too small for her now. I guess I will just have to get busy and make another outfit! Blessings to all who read this blog! |
What fun! Kayla is getting used to bespoke clothing very early!
ReplyDeleteOh, that embroidery is so cute! I have some kitten fabric that all of my daughters are crazy for... a matched set with that fabric would be perfect!
