Parsley Shorts in Action

I just finished another pair of Parsley shorts for Clementine, this pair in a lovely Oxford fabric from Yuwa called "Cat and Bird" (I found the fabric here).

I had considered making her a matching Flashback Tee to go with them, but this morning she put together this genius ensemble, making me wonder why I ever bother making matching clothes for her. I can't say it would have ever occurred to me to put these two things together, but it works (shirred Pierrot tunic blogged here).

They look a little puffy in the bum, but that's because there's an entire ruffled hem tucked in there.

Here are some "new" poses she insisted on (please don't pin these pics below; the ones above are fine, though). Very creative, this girl. I sense that she may have a future in theater.

Now for a few shots of Elliot's moon shorts (you can see a better shot of them in this post):

And that is my little Zombie.

Having grown up in a house full of girls, I can safely say I never imagined I would have a six-year-old who was obsessed with zombies. I for one did not know what a zombie was when I was six, that's for sure. I certainly never anticipated that his preschool teacher would pull me aside last year and explain that it is NOT OK to talk about zombies at preschool because it was frightening the other children. THAT was a bit embarrassing. Oops.

If you would like to make the Parsley Pants pattern into shorts, you'll find a very handy little how-to over on this post. Check it out!
