In addition to the Upsy Daisy Skirt yesterday, I did a few other sewing projects. I spent most of the day at my machine because it was about the only productive thing that I could do seeing as I can't walk very well due to my pelvis trying to separate from itself.
Despite the grimace, Addie actually loves this headband. Its a part of her Christmas present along with the skirt. Upsy Daisy's hair looks like this.
Its not easy to get her to stand still for a really good shot, so here is a collage of the many views of Addies' play suit. Various people have been making these recently and selling them for huge dollars online. Enid Gilchrist's books have several patterns for boy versions, but this one I made up myself... because I could. It was very cute all morning until she had a nap and did a pee the size of Sydney Harbour.
Lastly, my pants! These are from a vintage sheet that I shared previously. They are a nice weight cotton, and I decided to go for a straight leg capri length. I'm convinced that they could be both PJ's and house-pants. I also cut the pattern about an inch lower in the waist all around, scooping to 2 inches in the very front, to accommodate my small-for-its-dates but very very low belly. These will still be great post maternity, but if I find their low nature to be too much of an issue I can always add a stretchy band on top, but I don't think that I'll need to.
Very cute headband! And outfit! Love all the colors. You're so creative, Tab :)
