I had this idea in my mind for awhile. I came across an adorable blue plaid dress paired with an infinity mustard colored scarf while browsing on Pinterest. I knew that was the color scheme I wanted to go with.
I fell in love with these Daphne knickers from Violette Field Threads. I wasn't planning to buy and new patterns or fabric for PR&P but I broke my own rule and bought the pattern. And I'm glad I did!
I searched through my stash and found these plaid shorts I found at an estate sale for $2. Blue, gray, white and a little mustard. Perfect! There wasn't enough plaid fabric for the waistband or ruffle but I had some solid gray lying around and it was the perfect complement to the colors. These just fit her so hopefully she doesn't have a growth spurt anytime soon!
I had a hard time deciding on the color and style if the shirt. I've been using lots of prints lately and knew I wanted a solid with the plaid. But what color? Gray, mustard, blue? I started making a mustard colored shirt and it just wasn't working for me. I still plan to make it so she can have a few shirts to wear with these shorts. So I decided to make another Skipper top (by Sew Much Ado). I cut up an old t-shirt and and kept the original hem.
Then I used the mustard fabric for the infinity scarf. When M tried it on, she started giggling like crazy!
I was going to leave it with just those items but when we made plans to go apple picking, I decided to make a cardigan! She needs one and it was going to be chilly so win-win!
I found some blue and gray knit and I like the simple colors. I used the Greenpoint Cardigan by Hey June! Also, it's unisex so if it lasts long enough I can just switch out the flower buttons so Henri can wear it! Hmm, why did I use white thread instead of gray? Silly me...

I am in love with the outfit. The pants are probably my favorite, though it's hard to pick. :) Love it! Great job!
I was thinking about making my granddaughter knickers instead of a skirt, and after seeing yours I want to make those knickers too. Darling outfit! You inspired me.

Really love it. Mustard is just the perfect fall colour and it goes so well with the grey/blue. Really well done!
I am definitely loving the colors as well as the multiple layers that can be thrown together ... oooh and the tiny touch of girly with the little ruffles at the bottom. Just an overall lovely outfit.
