Still fits: Short-sleeved Charlie

{please do not pin these images of Elliot. Thanks!}

I could do a whole series of posts called "Still Fits!" showing how my kids grow into certain items of clothing. Sometimes a top or pair of pants I've sewn for them sees nearly a year of wear, which is a big win. Of course, on the other hand, there are garments that only make it onto their bodies for a fraction of a second before they're either rejected forever or grown out of. So I suppose it goes both ways.

This little short-sleeved Charlie tunic (originally blogged here and here) came out of the summer-clothes bin again this spring and Elliot snapped it up and has been wearing it quite a bit.

Paired with his super-cape (just a semi-circle of fabric with some bias tape and an appliqued letter thingy) it's a pretty great outfit, wouldn't you say?
