Preparing for colder weather, Top, scarf & leggings

Mixed pieces 


Before I went away to have the baby, 
I sewed as much as I could - as fast as I could. 
Making clothes is one way I show love for my little girl, 
I really truly love it as.........Each time I will say to her  "I have something for you, do you like it?" 
 So I tried to "pre-sew" some "gifts" for her as I knew I would be away from my machine for a bit...

Here they are,
A simple long sleeve top with detail. 
It's a nice lilac knit cotton & I knew I wanted something "circular" to decorate the top with, 
(esp. after her birthday and all those lollipop decorations)
and it ended up being this cute heart / lollipop decoration 



I also made a fabric scarf - since it's not completely cold yet 
but its' still fun to accessorize a bit on windy days
It's left over fabric from this tote bag, 
I just added some red ric rac to match on the ends 

And lastly a pair of grey leggings 
At times I find her clothes a bit hard to match up
(Maybe too many patterns?)
I always ended needing some basic pieces, 
What better than a pair of grey leggings to wear under a dress
or a lovely bright coloured coat....

For now, 
It's still not back to sewing yet....but soon I hope. 
Love
