When I saw the orange and turquoise Fleur d' Orange dress by Katy of the blog No Big Dill that was inspired by The Sartorialist I thought it was a match made in heaven. Katy's blog is not only a great read because of the beautiful sewing and crafts, but also because of the fierce love for her family that is reflected in her words.
I was inspired in turn to make something in orange and blue...this is the result:
Persimmon Blossom now available in the Shop
The cotton yarn colors are persimmon and seaspray.
The butterfly jumper is a simple pattern from One Yard Wonders which was the first sewing book I ever bought. The vintage buttons are non-functional and I crossed the straps in the back to accommodate Noelle's body. I just love the whimsy of the whole look, and my little boogie monster certainly got into this photo session as you can see!
That is adorable! You're right - that color combo is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI just got One-yard Wonders for Christmas and I want to make that jumper, yours turned out so cute !:)
Thanks Kathryn! Honestly I mostly used the measurements for the pattern pieces as a reference and kind of did my own thing with the dress...I didn't bother with interfacing or buttonholes and that made for a quicker sew.
