An Outfit for Nola

                                                                                                           



 I knitted a couple of these vests last year and found them fun and quick to make so I decided to knit Nola one this past week in a lovely mottled, blue aran. It is scottish lambswool and soft as a cloud.


A pair of my linen trousers were beginning to wear at the leg so I refashioned them  for Nola by tracing round a pair of her jeans and leaving a generous seam allowance. There are so many tutorials for this online. Here is one I just found.


A simple peasant blouse with lace trim.


Wrapping dolls for my shop.

    She is just adorable!
    And how talented you are to take a pair of your pants and resize them, wow!
    I am going to attempt to sew myself a frock, fingers crossed since sewing is
    not a skill I was blessed with.

    Your pictures here are lovely. How wonderful that you were able to make a pair of pants for your daughter out of your own. She looks so sweet modeling the things you have made. :^)

    Great outfit. Your attention to detail is terrific. I love the added touch of the lace trim on the bottom of the peasant blouse...just peeking out past the vest. Lovely.

    oh my goodness! What a darling outfit! I am pinning several of those links on pinterest. I dream of sewing more for my girls but it's depending a little on my decluttering journey the next month so I can dig my sewing desk out from clutter! Ha! I love that vest, it's really cute.
