Decking Out Darcy for Winter

Darcy doesn't REALLY need many clothes, being the 4th child and 3rd boy. But that doesn't stop me looking now does it?!

I've just been playing on Polyvore (a great time waster that is!) and found a few things.

Tell me though, where should I be looking for some nice, well made but not too expensive baby boy clothes?

A Wiksten Tank

So I decided a little while ago that I would have a go at making some of my summer wardrobe. This may not seem much for some, but for me that has only ever made kids clothes and attempted to sew myself some things only a few times with varying results, it made me a little nervous.

I have a few things on my list of things to make and on the top of the list was a tank. The tank I picked was the Wiksten Tank and well I am glad I did, because it was pretty easy to put together.

I did receive some pointers from Toni-Maree of Sew Jereli and I swear I took her advice, but well it seems I didn't grading the neckline seam enough...

I made it in an XL and well I am going to give a large a try. There is some gaping in the back and a lot of room all round... 

I did ask the kids if they could snap a picture of me and well this was the best I got...

The fabric is a gorgeous Amy Butler voile from the Soul Blossoms range called Peacock Feathers.

And I have enough to make a dress too. Not sure if I will make a Wiksten Tank Dress with an elastic waist or make a Staple Dress... decisions, decisions.
