So, for my birthday, I made myself a skirt. I couldn't find what I was looking for in the shops for a price I was willing to pay and any excuse to sew is a good excuse, isn't it? Once the machine was whirring away, I decided that I couldn't possibly stop with just me. Ned needed a new party outfit, too!
The colour doesn't look quite the same in these photos, but you get the idea. Isn't the little bird darling?!
The cardi and shirt were already in her closet, but I think they match so nicely.
Here's the big girl version (try to ignore everything that is going on in the background!)
It's such a bad photo - it was last minute as I was racing out the door! But check out this fabulous coat.
It was my husband's mothers coat. She knows i've got an eye for vintage finds and this little number was at the back of her closet for decades. Literally! It's 40 years old, but she is so meticulous that it is in mint condition. It fits like a glove and the rich plum colour is gorgeous. I have to get a decent photo for you! I think it is so much fun that my husband remembers his mum wearing it when he was little and so will our kids. Love that!
