After enjoying the Sienna Dress pattern so much I decided to try the Lil Leggings pattern and, once again, I was not disappointed! Nice straight forward instructions and a great selection of tips to make different styles. The pattern recommends a knit fabric with 75% stretch, I used a less stretchy fabric and upsized the pattern a bit. The result are some cute leggings to match Little Miss’s new Sienna Dress.
You should recognize all of the fabrics, they are from my thrifting adventure last week. I know it may seem a little out of season for a Catrina, but she will be wearing this all spring and summer, what can I say, we’re a year round skeleton family.
Little Miss really likes these dresses and when she finds out that I’m making her a new one she hovers around waiting for it to be ready to try on. It’s exciting for me that she really wants to wear the little dresses I’m making. I think I may just have to buy all of the Lilblueboo patterns, there are so easy and stylish. We get a lot of compliments and people are amazed that these are handmade. If you have a little girl to sew for I can’t recommend these patterns enough. Make sure to stop by The Lil Blue Boo blog as well for some great tutorials for embellishing you fabrics for a more custom look.
I have some other great girly tutorials to try, but I just can’t stop making these knit dresses, I wish the pattern came in adult sizes. I have been eyeing the Halter/Tie back dress pattern for this summer.
