Quiara by Studio Tantrum

What a fun and fast pattern. The basic collar had an Asian feel to me, sort of mandarin like, so I thought the pink dahlia fabric would be perfect. I did the kooky hair things for fun ;)

I like how different the look is with the double sleeves and hood below. I used some super cute Icky Baby Nuts knit with some red velour. She says the red leggings are super warm and comfy. She was having a crazy hair flinging swinging day!

For the leggings I used Ottobre Issue 6-2007. Again a classic pattern.



You really should try a tunic pattern. They are more versatile than I thought they would be.

Mermaids!

Eliana picked out this fabric and the pattern the other day when her fever was 104+..(maybe that is why, when able to choose ANY fabric from my stash, or my store...., she choose one from JA's ;) The pink polka dots I picked out to go with the cute mermaids

Not great pics, she is still feeling yucky from being sick....

Nice pattern, pretty good instructions too. I really like the wavy hem. I think I will make more of these over the next year.



















A year ago I would have skipped the pockets thinking phooey they will add too much time. I'm so glad I took the extra 20 minutes to do them..She LOVES them.
And a picture of the back:

Before I spend the next few days cutting fabric..

I wanted to post my first sewing project since April!!!!

It felt REALLY good to sew again. I had forgotten how much I love it
