For Evangeline's dress, I used Rae's Geranium pattern.
I switched the direction of the pleats so I could add side ties, and I drafted a peter pan collar. I made the dress in a 4T.
Cute little black buttons up the back!I whipped up an easy bow for Evie using the free Oliver + S pattern.
For Gus, I made a tie, using this tutorial and pattern. I also made some suspenders using red twill tape.
And for little Dexter's first Easter, I made him a pair of yellow pants (drafted my own pattern), along with a cardigan using the popular tutorial at Feather's Flights.
I also sewed a mini bow tie for him using this tutorial. I just sewed it onto the shirt instead of making it a clip-on.
And, to be extra adventurous, I also sewed up my own Easter dress, using Rae's Washi Dress pattern. I am happy about the way that it turned out. I made a muslin for both the small and the medium, deciding on the small. Next time, I will add a few inches to the length.
As I finished each project, they hung on my sewing shelf. Here they are all together when I finally finished them up! I think I'll start making little mini-collections like this more often!
To finish off the post, here's a sweet picture of all the kids with me in their outfits that a friend took at a recent play date!
