Next week is the Big Day, Mira’s first day of Kindergarten!
In preparation, and to keep this sentimental mama’s mind off the bittersweetness of what’s about to go down, I have been working on a few special big girl outfits. These outfits will mix and match and carry her through the fall into winter with a change of accessories (e.g. the fabulous sunny yellow sandals will be swapped for a pair of ribbed tights and some sparkly boots.)
This outfit, The Hopscotch Knit Shirt and Skirt, is sewn from Oliver + S’s Fall collection. Since this was part of pattern testing, Liesl, the company’s lovely owner, sent along the yellow polka-dotted interlock from her new fabric line, City Weekend, for the knit shirt. Both the fabric and the pattern should be available this week! Skirt fabric is Heather Ross’s Far Far Away II. Also, of note, check out the cutest pockets ever to hit a skirt. They were inspired by Chinese takeout containers. Love. Have already sewed two of these babies… will show the other skirt later. Promise.
“Back To” seems to be the philosophy of Fall. What are you getting Back To?
