\"coral-giraffe-print1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Good morning! This week, I decided to sew up something that I knew K would absolutely love. It’s knit, it’s animal print, and it’s bright. The trifecta of success. This tiered tunic is from this book<\/a>\"\", and because the largest size goes up to only\u00a0125cm and K is squarely a size\u00a0130cm now, I added 4cm to the length. I need to try to sew more from this book before K completely outgrows it — so far I’ve sewn this<\/a> and this<\/a>\u00a0and this<\/a> from it and there are a few more that’s on my sewing docket!<\/p>\n

\"coral-giraffe-print2\"<\/a> \"coral-giraffe-print3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And why stop at just a tunic when I can make a pair of matching leggings? The effect, admittedly, is pajama-esque and a little overwhelming, but my hunch was right and K loves<\/em> the whole ensemble. I used the pattern from this book<\/a>\"\" for the leggings, and I actually didn’t have enough fabric, so these are shortened by about 8\u00a0inches.<\/p>\n

\"coral-giraffe-print5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This very cool giraffe print is from Drygoods<\/a> and is a rayon\/lycra blend – super easy to sew!<\/p>\n

\"coral-giraffe-print6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a full day to sew on Saturday, so not only did I sew this top and leggings, but also cut out four more pairs of leggings in various colors. The leggings — or “spats” as they’re called in Japanese — situation has been problematic since she’s either outgrown or completely worn through all the ones I’ve made in the past. I gently suggested to her that perhaps she’d like to wear the top and bottom separately, so she styled it with one of the other new leggings I sewed up in some thick, mystery, aubergine knit (these are too<\/em> long, so we had to roll them up a bit):<\/p>\n

\"coral-giraffe-print8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nice. Much less jammies, no?\u00a0But who are we kidding? She’ll be wearing the full-on combo out and about next time.\u00a0The cardigan is the one I made for her first day of third grade – it’s one of her very faves. You can see it up close and personal\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"coral-giraffe-print4\"<\/a> \"coral-giraffe-print7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My little coral giraffe girl — such a sweetie. She told me last night, “Mama, I try really hard to be a good person. I’m very successful at it most of the time.” Gah. Love her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
