I have had this in the works for a while now...and it is finally time to share! So.... LET'S DO A SEW ALONG! Ok? OK. Here's what we will be making... It is my interpretation of this vintage 1950's pattern. * Please note--It is NOT this exact pattern...it is my own interpretation.

You see this inspiration (it's no longer there but that is where I got the image from) that I found and pinned and thought was so cute. As a side note, I love to look at Japanese children's clothing...there are some cute things. A giant bow on a skirt. Darling. (This was pinned long before I saw giant bows on everyone's skirts that turned out much cuter ... View the Post
