Hanging on to the end of my rope » Olivia http://tigerjim.com/blog Fri, 06 Sep 2013 14:40:36 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 I’m supposed to wear something cute http://tigerjim.com/blog/?p=160 http://tigerjim.com/blog/?p=160#comments Mon, 28 Sep 2009 02:46:46 +0000 admin http://tigerjim.com/blog/?p=160 This is the answer to the request from Zoe for something cute for picture day. While I thought she had plenty of “cute” things that would be lovely for picture day, she apparently felt differently. I would have appreciated her sharing this information sometime earlier than the day before picture day, but what fun would that be? This picture is about a week after picture day. I’m not sure if these were the tights she had on for picture day, and I’m pretty sure we picked up this pair of shoes after picture day. The shoes are hot pink shiny numbers from Target.

This is a standby pattern – Farbenmix Olivia. The hood is lined in the same color as the sleeves. The main fabric is a purpley-blue with pink and purple fairies all over it. Size 122/128.

It has enough twirl factor to satisfy my girly, and it goes together in a flash. I’ve left off the front pocket. This one also got a lined hood and I left off the knotted extra the pattern calls for on the hood. The sleeves and bottom hem got a lettuce hem, which curls more after it goes through the wash. Zoe just loves the lettuce edge.

Sized 122/128, it’s made with a cotton rib knit called “Flutter” by Baby Nay for the body and the sleeves and hood are from the coordinate print. The pattern is Olivia by Farbenmix. Love it!
