I was in the fabric store last week and I saw some cute cupcake fabric. I picked it up and pondered what on earth I could make with it. All by itself it was just too cutesy for my tastes, if you know what I mean. So I took a lap around the store, waiting for something to jump out at me. At first there were no bites...then it all came together and I had to have it. I had no clue what I was going to make but I was in love with this fabric combination. I took it home and since I had no plan what to do with it, there it laid in the bag for a week. Finally, I decided to jump in and I just started hacking away at it with no particular idea what I was going to make or even who I was going to make it for. Eventually it started to take shape and I was falling head over heels for it. When I tried the finished product on my little cupcake I jumped around the room and gleefully giggled like an idiot. It's actually sad how much I get into my work.
So here it is - the fruit of hours of having no idea what I was doing but enjoying every second of it. The entire bodice is shirred, with my tell-tale twisty straps in the back and little strap loops in the front with sewn on buttons. The pants have a double ruffle and a drawstring. I'm not sure, but I think she'll get two seasons out of this outfit.
Now, I'm gonna be honest here. This is not the most practical outfit I've made. Sure, I took her to the mall and fabric store in it, but it's not exactly made for the playground. As much as I love it, it's really only suited for pictures, parties, and pageants. And based on all the work and materials that went into this thing it will not exactly be priced "reasonably". But, if you're ever in the market for an unnaturally adorable outfit that will make you gleefully giggle like I did, then you know where to get one!
