A Birthday Outfit

This Sunday we are celebrating Sam's 5th birthday and my niece, Vaughan's 1st birthday. I decided to make my sweet niece a spring outfit for her birthday.

I found this tutorial while surfing and I knew that I had to make one right away. Grace and Ella will have at least one a piece but I decided to make Vaughanie-girl's first...since its her birthday and all.


Since Vaughan is still in diapers, I had to make some kind of bottom. I was going to make a bloomer but then I changed my mind and went with a little pantaloon. I love how a bit of the blue butterfly pokes out from underneath. This outfit was constructed using all stash fabric, hooray! The butterflies were a score at the local Goodwill. I have at least 3 yards of it. I am sure you will see it again.

How sweet. I love this little outfit. You might enjoy my friend at Pink Picket Fence. She made the cutest skirts out of thrifted linens. Keep up the good work! Have a great day, Liz

This is such a perfect dress! Little Vaughan will be so precious in this sweet gift.

I want to make V some sundresses - something simple. Love this, but the tutorial seems a bit confusing, as does the pattern. It's probably just me since I'm so inexperienced! Was it hard?

Great work!
