Diversifying...

On Friday Ruth came home from her childminder in tears because her baby’s outfit is blue, not pink. Now I know perfectly well that Ruth is generally in tears when she comes home from the childminder. Come to that she’s often in tears at dinnertime no matter where she’s spent the day. The combination of being tired and landing in another group of people is generally too much right at that moment. So it’s not something I need to take too seriously.

However, I had been promising her a new outfit for Tilly (actually most of the pressure was coming from John… ), so on Saturday I went to John Lewis and bought 50cm of pink flowery fabric, and without the aid of a pattern, I made this outfit:

Proper names, proper dress, she’s growing up, isn’t she?

And I’m a band I’ve never heard of. The Pixies?

I’m very impressed. I wouldn’t have a clue where to start without a pattern!

Ruth clearly approved of the outfit. Tilly, btw, looks remarkably like Rosie, my doll of far-too-many years ago.

Ahhh, yes – the power of the child’s suggestion….I know all about that!

Oh I’m so impressed – I wouldn’t even know where to begin with a pattern !!! The outfit is lovely and Ruth looks like one happy bunny.
