Look at the "Bustles of Love" Dress that I Can't Stop Crafting made.  I love the orange and navy combo....it looks amazing. Also, some School Girl Jumpers....the first by Sweetpea & Pumkins that she paired with an Oliver and S blouse pattern.  Darling.

Baby Bonnet and skirt. I went to a baby shower a couple of weeks ago and made a quick skirt and ruffly bonnet for the sweet baby girl that is coming. I had seen quite a few tutorials--last summer--for cute baby bonnets and had somehow remembered that they were a rectangle with a casing on the back.
