\"Citrus<\/p>\n

This might be my favorite thing I’ve ever sewn.
\nEVER.
\nI know. That’s a lofty statement.
\nBut you know when you have something in your mind, that you think is going to work, but you’re not really sure that it will…and then it turns out just as you had hoped???
\nThat my friends is this little citrus outfit.<\/p>\n

\"Fiesta<\/p>\n

I started with the Citrus Sunrise fabric from my Fiesta Fun<\/a> fabric collection….which might also be my favorite print in the mix.\u00a0 This outfit was destined for my love.
\n(read more about my inspiration for this print here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Then I used the Anywhere Skirt Pattern<\/a> and the First Day Dress Pattern<\/a> to create one look.\u00a0\u00a0 And I love it.\u00a0 It fits her so well and …it just makes me happy.\u00a0 I might try this in my size too.<\/p>\n

\"Citrus\"Fiesta<\/p>\n

I made a few tweaks to each pattern, which means you’ll be getting tutorials in the near future!\u00a0 I’ve already started one for the skirt<\/a> placket.\u00a0 And when that’s done, I’ll start a tutorial for this top.<\/p>\n

In the mean time, here are the basics:<\/strong>
\n\u2022 I really wanted the shirt to be a crop top, so that the chunkiness of the skirt waistband would show (without showing her tummy). \u00a0 So I used the A-Line Top from the pattern<\/a>, and chopped many inches off.\u00a0 It seemed extreme, but I was amazed at how short it needed to be!\u00a0 And what I did not realize at first, is that the front needed to be longer than the back.\u00a0 Haah. Guess I hadn’t accounted for little baby belly.\u00a0 Making it an extra inch longer in the FRONT helped it looked even all the way around, when worn.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Then, rather than cutting a slit in the back neckline, I made the back into two separate pieces—adding an inch or so of extra fabric for an overlapping placket.\u00a0 Cause really, I just wanted to use those chunky wooden buttons.\u00a0 I think the bright colors of this collection<\/a> go so well with neutrals and wooden accents.<\/p>\n

\"Fiesta\"Citrus<\/p>\n

For the Skirt:<\/strong>
\nI added a new design twist to the Anywhere Skirt<\/a>—a small back placket!\u00a0 This is a game changer.\u00a0\u00a0 And I did the same thing on my yellow gingham skirt from our Christmas cards<\/a> too.\u00a0\u00a0 Since I had done a long line of buttons on the shirt, it felt excessive to have tons of buttons on the skirt as well.\u00a0 So this was the perfect way to create a full gathered look, without a placket in the front.<\/p>\n

\"Fiesta<\/p>\n

In fact—speaking of full—I used fabric\u00a0FOUR times her waist size, which is my favorite way to do it these days.\u00a0 It’s more layers to sew through (especially since I added a lining layer) but it gets a great gathered look.<\/p>\n

\"Citrus\"Fiesta<\/p>\n

Of course my favorite part of sewing, is that I get to take pics of everything afterward.
\nHonestly, I sew so I can photograph.
\nAnd get beautiful faces like these:<\/p>\n

\"Fiesta<\/p>\n

Clara is such a stinking goofball.\u00a0 I mean, even when I tell her to look straight, she gives me the side eyeball.\u00a0 Clara! \u00a0 But then we also capture moments like this:<\/p>\n

\"Fiesta<\/p>\n

Love that little girl.
\nAND…(this is becoming long)….I love seeing what you guys are making and sharing too!<\/p>\n

LOOK at this photo.\u00a0 Ahhh!\u00a0 That baby!\u00a0 That romper!
\n(photo by Jeremagz<\/a>; romper by\u00a0 Hello Ollie Shop<\/a>)\"Fiesta<\/p>\n

And this women’s look from the Fiesta Fun look book<\/a> (by Art Gallery Fabrics<\/a>): \"Fiesta<\/p>\n

So much citrus love.
\nI’m gonna go eat an orange.<\/p>\n
