Charlie with short sleeves!
I wanted to see if I could make a short-sleeved version of the Charlie tunic (which is at the top of My List right now, really want to get this out there before Spring Tops take over my life next week). I honestly wondered if it would look alright with short sleeves or just be kind of weird. You can be the judge I suppose but I think this is pretty fantastic. I love the retroish look of the sleeve facings and this froggy print is really really cute (Rachel of Retrolabs brought this to last summers’ Weekend…
More Bonnet
Just found this picture from last summer on the computer and thought I’d throw it at the blog. Clementine is pointing at the screen right now and saying “Bee-Bee!” Oh man, she just screamed and now I have officially lost hearing in one ear. I have two minutes here before Elliot finishes his waffle and then it’s on with our day.
(This is the other side of the reversible Daisy Bonnet, by the way. And dear me I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that you can buy the ALL NEW Peekaboo Bonnet Sewing Pattern here, just in case you missed it the first time…*end shameless promotion*)

Almost here: Bonnet, Bonnet, Bonnet!
Sometimes I get to the end of the week and there’s not much to show for it. Last week I made a pile of reversible sunbonnets and nearly finished up the pattern. The pictures that came back from the testers were awesome. I was a little bummed, because I was SO close to getting this up and running before Easter. The good news is that there will still be plenty of sunshine yet this spring and summer! Woohoo!
Here’s the child size small (fits ages 4-6 approximately)
