Even before she was born Eva had a wardrobe entry every year. Items for her come easy so why not try to coordinate them a bit more and get a mini wardrobe with easy to mix and match items. I started all with a match your shoes setup with pink because it is her favorite color at the moment and purple to match the shoes. Next I did fireworks pants because it was good quality stretch cotton fabric and colors seem to match her pallet so far. I really liked the light blue on the fabric print and though a top in that shade would be perfect with it. And it was and even better it worked with the pink suit as well.
I was a bit in the dark though about that to do next to finish it up. I thought a lighter color top will work nice in the mix and found this great panel print fabric with black and white stripes and such a cute design in all the right shades for my girl. so this settled the last top.
The purple top and the fireworks pants we both so loud I felt it was a bit to much to the same wardrobe even if the colors coordinated nicely so I decided to make a quick short sleeveless dress/tunic that can be worn lone or over other tops in the same fabric as the loud pants.
And I think that made everything go together a lot better.
With this 2 tops this year's score becomes Sewing 40 - Shopping (still) 30 and this is not all I have been sewing lately...

Fireworks pants and polka dots top for my little girl
Because of the rainbow striped fabric I used on Eva's last top I remembered this colorful fireworks stretch cotton satin I think I bought for myself thinking of some pants and later realizing the print is way to much... I think is still a bit to much for Eva as well... but I had the pants patern - Ottobre 1/2016 #16 - right on my desk and they are really easy to make and the fabric is really good quality and I needed some instant gratification project so I just cut and sew it last night super fast.
And because I was done so fast and I had another pattern on hand I decided to make another top to go with the pants. I wanted something less striking and I was really pleased of how the blue polka dots fabric coordinated with the blue fireworks. So make a Ottobre 6/2010 #15 skipping the neck binding:
So here it is
I wanted for this 2 to work with the other items to put together a wardrobe entry for Eva.That match is not that great but might have to make it work since there will be little time available will all the sewing plans I have for my sister in law wedding.
It is always hard to stay away from fabrics but I still haven't bought anything new though I am really itching to go look for a few ideas I have ... There still are a few unpublished projects that will be revealed this weekend on ElizabethMadeThis blog that will tip the numbers in my favor but with the blogged items the score right now is Sewing 27 - Shopping 30.
