Well, at least Amy Butler-fabric. I bought this fabric ages ago, because I saw it on some blog and just fell in love with it.

It has been sitting in a box, patiently waiting for me to think of something to use it for. And now I finally came up with something, I made a peasant-style blouse for the tiny one. Unfortunately I didn't have enough to make the sleeves with the same fabric like I had planned (I had already cut up fabric for a skirt before this blouse), so the sleeves are made with polka dot fabric. And I must say, I think the tiny one looks so
cute in this. :)

I had to make daddy hold her, because she wasn't in the mood to pose for me (again). I've made a couple of these peasant blouses for the bigger girl, but didn't have the pattern in a smaller size. So I drew up a pattern. The first try ended up
waaay too big, I could have fit three tiny ones in there, so I had to cut away some (=quite a lot of) fabric to make it a bit less wide.
In these followin pics you can almost see the sleeve fabric too.


You'll see more of this combo, as I have a skirt waiting to be sewn up, using these fabrics together. :) Oh, and I definitely need more of this fabric, too bad it seems to be very hard to get hold of these days.
Me too! :)
