If you are visiting from Oliver and S and the “Favorite Oliver and S Pattern” series, WELCOME!! We hope you like what you see, and stay for a while.
For this little ensemble, we opted to combine two Oliver and S patterns to make an outfit: the Swingset Tunic and Puppet Show Shorts.
Hot, summer days in the South require the appropriate attire to survive the heat!
In retrospect, this summer has been extremely mild….and truthfully, we’d take the heat and humidity any day over frigid, cold conditions.
We had splurged on some Liberty fabric about a year and a half ago, and finally found the perfect use for it.
We’ve definitely made the most of our splurge – constructing a Swingset Tunic, Puppet Show Shorts, and a Puppet Show Dress – each, showcasing this lovely fabric.
EA loves her summery tunic….now, if only we could get her to wear her shorts at an appropriate waist area.
We sewed a size 3T in the Swingset Tunic, but lengthened it to a size 4 length.
Of course, no garment is complete without our “signature piping detail”! This little detail accentuated the curved yoke brilliantly!!
The Puppet Show Shorts were sewn, as is, in a size 3T and still have ample growing room for EA.
Now, we just need to find the perfect pattern to pair with a “winterized” pair of Puppet Show Shorts….
Taking ideas and suggestions….NOW!
