Once Upon a Thread
My mother's copy of Counting Rhymes illustrated by Sharon Kane is on
long term loan at my house. (You haven't missed it have you Mom?)
It has these adorable illustrations of toddlers and babies that I just can't get enough of. Cute kids in cute clothes? I just can't help myself.
I particularly fell in love with this outfit and had to make one for Teagan.
The skirt is basically a circle skirt but with a much larger waist circumference so it could be gathered in for extra twirly-skirt-ness. I just added a couple of rows of brown ric rac around the edge. (If you are curious, the fabric is from JoAnn's.)
I made Teagan's sweater by cutting apart a thrifted woman's sweater, refashioning it to a child's size, adding a lace Peter pan collar, lace around the sleeve edges, and vintage buttons down the back. I love those buttons! I think they are what drew me to the illustration originally.
