You have already seen Liesl\u2019s summer edit<\/a>, as well as Rae\u2019s (using her Lotus Pond fabric collection),<\/a> now today I am sharing mine. Kids Clothes Week<\/a> is just around the corner, July 21-27 to be exact, and it\u2019s got me thinking about the wardrobe I would sew for my daughter C if I was planning a new wardrobe for her.<\/p>\n

This was a really fun project that C and I did jointly. We sat down together and chose seven styles. Actually it started out at ten or twelve and was a little difficult to decide, but we narrowed it down to seven. The fabrics for this wardrobe are mostly florals from Liberty of London<\/a> with a couple of solid fabrics, as well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Garden Party Blouse<\/a><\/strong> in a blue Clarisse Tana Lawn<\/a>. I have been seeing so many lovely Garden Party creations. It\u2019s contagious, I need to sew one, too. This blue floral would make a nice sleeveless blouse and would be just right for those hot and humid days.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2+2 Pleated Skirt<\/a><\/strong> in Fairford Chambray<\/a>. C loves pleated skirts and with it being sewn in chambray it will coordinate with so many different tops.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ice Cream Blouse<\/a><\/strong> in Ella and Libby Tana Lawn<\/a> and a light blue linen blend<\/a> yoke. This loose-fitting blouse is perfect for the summer heat.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Badminton Skort<\/a><\/strong> in Capel Discharge Chambray<\/a>. C loves the scallop hem on this skort and made in this fabric it\u2019s going to be so pretty!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Class Picnic Shorts<\/a><\/strong> in Esteban Chambray<\/a> and Wilmslow Berry Tana Lawn<\/a> trim. A pair of shorts is a must during the summer months and this style is so cute.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pinwheel Slip Dress<\/a><\/strong> in a pink Clarisse Tana Lawn<\/a>. I would do the bias trim in the same fabric. This is the perfect simple summer dress.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Birthday Party Dress<\/a><\/strong> in bright purple silk shantung<\/a>. Guess who has a birthday this month? C insisted on a Birthday Party Dress for her big day, and it had to be bright purple. Who can blame her? It will be gorgeous! So, there you have it, one fancy dress to round off the wardrobe.<\/p>\n
