QUACK
I must give most of the credit for this post to Soulmama. If it wasn't for her gorgeous selection of vintage and vintage inspired smock tops.....well, the following wouldn't have materialised here quite so suddenly.
The pattern I've adapted from a japanese craft book ISBN 4579110544 for the top, and the trusty bloomer pattern that Pia lives in for the bottom. I love it's oversized nature, it's simplicity, and despite the neck being way too large, I like overlapping the opening at the back of the neck and that I can adjust it as she grows. I have more waiting to be cut out. Amanda was right - they multiply.
The ducks and elephant were a lovely find at Top3bydesign (they don't appear on the website though) that I had to buy because they were just too beautiful. The little ducks waddle. 1, 2, 3, .....awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Awwwwwwww beautiful.
