These Geraniums have been in my head for a while. I mean, a really, really long time, August. So I finally got around to making them and am so happy I did!
They are both size 2T, tunic length with a bit of length since the girls are the height of 3T. I probably should have made a 3T for Elizabeth for growing room, but they tend to fight over clothes (already, *sigh*) so it is best they are the same size because you never know who will want to wear which one on any given day.
The fabulous Justine uses a lot of hot pink for linings, something I absolutely love, so the linings are totally inspired by hers. It makes me happy when I catch a glimpse of the pink.
The girls weren't super cooperative, so you get two back pictures. One has a yellowish/mustardy set of buttons...
And pink for the others.
As soon as Elizabeth saw the one she is wearing she started shouting "my triangle shirt!!", so I am pretty sure that is her staking her claim. Makes a gal feel good when her hard work is appreciated;)
I have made this pattern enough that I didn't even glance at the instructions, which saves a ton of time, but I also forgot whether the pleats were supposed to go towards the center or away, so I did one of each, ha! Though Georgie's pleats show up way more than Izzy's, I guess her fabric is too busy.
I love both these fabrics, and the big buttons!
ReplyDeleteThank you Colette! I heart them too;)

Aw, thanks Nicole!
DeleteBoth are very beautiful! The fabric choice is perfect for this pattern! I have two boys how fight over clothes too. If I make one a top the other wants one just like it. They are same size too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon! Ha! So what you are saying is it wont get any better? ;)
DeleteReally love both of these Brittney - and the girls are getting so big!
ReplyDeleteGotta love some hot pink lining - it always makes me happy too
Re the pleats - I've just recently (as in when I made my latest Washi) that I do my pleats backwards to the pattern - the pattern has them going towards the middle, but I do them out! Hey, I like it better that way!
The tops are adorable on the girls! I love the fabrics you used.:)
ReplyDeleteLove love love these!
ReplyDeleteWhat is that triangle fabric? It is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It is the Washi triangle from Rashida Coleman Hale.
