My next project

I haven't sewn anything since ummm, well, aahhhh, I don't know. If sewing strips of white cloth to long underwear to make a mummy costume count, than right before Halloween. So my plan is to sew the girls little Christmas jumpers. I'm very excited about the pattern I have picked out for this project. I had planned on making a summer outfit but then summer got away. So fingers crossed I won't mess around and be able to get this project under way.

Here is the pattern I am going to use


I plan on keeping the top pretty much the same, but putting a ruffle on the bottom, then the pants are going to lose the band get a ruffle like the shirt and maybe a little longer in length too.

So fabric:

OR



I plan to make matching bows to go with the fabric I choose, along with crocheted socks. I will put a white turtle neck under the jumper top and not sure about the shoes? These will be our pictures with Santa outfit. Cute hu. I better get moving.

VERY cute! I vote for the candy cane fabric too. I wish I could sew. I have zero sewing ability. Well, if you ever want to try your hand at sewing boys clothes, I have 3 little ones you could make your guinea pigs!! ;)
