Tried my hand at smocking - this is Simplicity 6767 , one year size. The bodice is shortened to make room for the smocking , and the zip replaced by buttons at the back opening. Fabric is a checked cotton, the smocking design was inspired by an excellent tutorial on www.mariegracedesigns.com
LiEr's shortall pattern ( www.ikatbag.com) is so good that I had to make another one; the little fellow needs more play clothes now that he goes to play school for 3 hours a day. This one is blue denim with contrast pockets ( modified shape) and white topstitching . I am very happy with the way they look. They seem super-comfortable too!
