Today I sketched some imaginary outfits for K. I love miniaturized grown-up clothes using sophisticated colors, shapes and fabrics. It’s so easy to end up with garish and overly cutesy when it comes to kids’ clothes, and that’s probably why I gravitate toward patterns from Japanese craft books. The models are styled so simply and evoke a sort of nostalgia. Very lovely.

I also love Oliver + S, and I recently discovered Figgy’s, featuring fun, modern patterns for kids. I have a few patterns in my stash from both and can’t wait to try them out in the coming weeks! I’m also taking part in Elsie Marley‘s KCWC for the first time! So excited!
