A Birthday Shirt

I've been pretty excited about this labor of love for a while. Little A turns 2 this month, and for her pumpkin-patch themed birthday, I sewed her a lovingly-made-by-mom shirt!


The pattern is ModKid Kyoko, and the Pumpkin "feature" fabric is Joyful Harvest by Sandy Lynam Clough for Red Rooster Fabrics, purchased at In Between Stitches. Later, I added the two coordinating fabrics from my favorite local quilt shop.


It took me 4 days worth of on-and-off sewing to complete this project (including homemade bias tape). Full credit goes to ModKid for putting together an instructive and easy-to-follow pattern.


A wore it for the first time to her 2-year photo shoot last Thursday, and then again to her birthday party on Sunday. She got lots of compliments!



As for me, I am - as always - one proud Momma. But now I'm a proud momma with a cute kid AND a cute shirt to my name.


Go me. And onward to the next project I go.

Linking up with Linky Tuesday and Sew Cute Tuesday.

  4. Very impressive! And something that will be treasured always, I think! Perhaps one day Autumn's own daughter will wear this shirt on her 2nd birthday!
