Five and a half hours later...

The little one is spending her first weekend away at Baba's, so I have been working ever since I woke up this morning. I changed the yoke from the original vintage pattern and added more height to the straps, but with no model to try it on, I'm not quite sure if it's perfect yet. This is the final design, complete with vintage trim on a navy linen/cotton blend. I think it looks quite handsome! It will be in the shop next week along with the spring floral jackets.

Enjoy your weekend!

hope you enjoyed your freedom! my kids used to stay with their grandparents quite often, when we lived back in nz, that is. ;) it's so good for both parents and babies to have a break!

i had to leave a comment and tell you impressed i am with the little overalls- they're sooo lovely! perfect old-fashioned-yet-modern playclothes...

I have just discovered your blog and absolutely love it and your wonderful creations. I wish my children were younger so that I could purchase some of the sweet bluebirdbaby clothes for them.
I can't wait to try out the everything bag tutorial of yours; I will contact you if I have any questions. I am usually not that great with written directions.
