Under the Sea

Monday, February 20, 2012

In a few weeks we have a family trip scheduled to Atlanta to meet up with Mike, Brooke, and Palmer. On the agenda is a visit to the aquarium, so I thought it would be fun to make some aquatic outfits for the trip. I let Avery flip through a very beachy issue of a Kelly’s Kids catalog to pick out the sea creatures for each outfit. I reverse appliqued a whale for Tandy and a sea horse for Avery. For Avery’s top, I used the Farbenmix Amelie pattern. I followed this ruching technique for the wavy ruffle along the bottom. I also used my extra fold over elastic from headbands in place of the ribbing around the sleeve and neck openings.
