Brace yourself for the cute: Plaid Pierrot
Posted September 26, 2011
Now I know I am biased (har, get it? BIASED?), but I think she is beyond cute in this getup.
This “fall” version of the Pierrot Tunic (you can see all of the other versions I’ve made here, here, here, and here) is made from flannel shirting that’s got a nice loose weave and drapes well. I found it at JoAnn (*gasp* can you believe it?) in the section I like to call the “Lumberjack Section”. Not the cutesy flannels for kids, the plaids for Lumberjacks. You know what I’m talking about.
If you look closely at some of the photos, you can see that this version was made entirely without a serger; you can use a machine to zig-zag the ruffle instead of serging it (as I have in the past) for a similarly-charming effect that’s just as quick.
Pattern coming soon!

You’re right…beyond cute. =) Nice job.
omg i love her hair like that. smooches!
cute cute, my four year old loves the ruffles!!
SERIOUSLY, RAE! i’m in love with this dress every time you make it. can’t wait for the pattern. i picked up some of that type of flannel from joann, too – it’s super cozy! i have it slated for something else, but might need to reconsider if the pattern is available before KCWC.
That is just soooooo cute. I really wish I had a little girl to make it for. I don’t think my boys would look quite as good in it.
cute! Love it with the leggings and those shoes!
Yes, this is very cute – I wish my girls were still young enough to wear something like this
Can’t wait to do it !!!!!!!!!
and I love the shoes too !!!!
Love it. I love the shoes, too. Do you mind sharing where you got them?
Hi Kristi,
The shoes are Livie and Luca; I bought them here: http://www.shoes.com/en-US/Product/EC1246887-5140890/Livie+And+Luca/Red/Kids‘+Port+Tod_Pre.aspx
but they go on sale (more) occasionally so I think I ended up paying about $30
Hope that helps!!
Oh too cute – might I ask – where did you get the shoes?? I have to have some for my daughter!

Rae, thanks for sharing the link! I am also going to get a pair for my little queen!
So cute. I’ve always loved your other versions of this tunic & can’t wait for you to share the pattern. We are coming into summer here and I can see my wee one racing around with a light, long sleeved top to protect her skin from the harsh Aussie sun teamed up with some shorts!
YEA! Adorable, biased or not. I am soo very excited for the pattern. Thank you for letting us all in on the cuteness and how to make it.
Ahh! I got those shoes for my little girl! You turned me on to Livie and Luca on your Pinterest!
Yay yay yay!!! Looking at your cutie in this precious top has me seriously jonesing to make one for my 2 year old monkey (who also digs leggings and cutesy shoes). ;0)
oh she is to die for cute, those little curls kill me
It’s so cute! =) Love the plaid with the design. I like to zig-zag rather than serge in some cases too – it’s makes a fun little edge!
don’t know what else to say but LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, so ADORABLE! And she’s not even crying!
Very cute!
