Golden Sun Finale

Everyone in my family enjoys Small World every time they go to Disney. But when it comes to the art of small world, the biggest fan in our family is definitely my mom, their grandmother. My mom and I both quilt (see her blog here), and one year she and I spend a long while admiring a small-world inspired quilt at a garden quilt show, so now when I think of the ride, I also think of her.

So clearly, after making all those outfits for my nieces and nephew, I HAD to see if there was just *one more* family member I could squeeze in.

This project would probably have laid fallow for a while, except that in September of 2019 my daughter had an unusually-timed school break; we used that opportunity to plan a whirlwind Disneyland trip. At the last minute I thought mom might enjoy matching her grandkids (on my brother's side, alas) so I added this to my sewing queue.

This make is a modified Patterns for Pirates Basic Tee, only I shortened the scoop a little bit (for modesty) and added some self-drafted flutter sleeves using an online tutorial. I added about six extra sections at 1.5" each, and it wasn't *quite* as luxurious and drape-ey as I'd envisioned. But, my mom was still pleased with her gift nonetheless.

Here she is with my nieces/nephews during our Disney trip, showing off their coordinated outfits outside of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Certainly a world of laughter here! You can read more about our trip on my mom's travel blog here.
