I really wanted to sew something for my girls so that they matched, but not exactly because there's such a gap in their ages (8 years). I had this Amy Butler home decor weight fabric from a project that I never made, but only 1 metre. In the end I'm happy with how they turned out. I had planned on Petunia's skirt being a little longer, but it's alright as long as she wears leggings and she doesn't mind. Sweet Pea's top is on the small side but it will fit for the remainder of this summer. They are both simple summer evening projects. If I hadn't been so tired when I made the skirt it would have been much quicker!
The skirt is the Harmony Drawstring Skirt I found on SewMamaSew. The tutorial was very easy to follow but the drawstring part didn't work out for me because my fabric was so thick. That's ok, there's elastic there anyways, and I have to say if I made it again even with thinner fabric I wouldn't bother with the drawstring. What a pain to thread it in when there's already elastic in that channel! I really like this skirt with the heavier fabric. It's more like a cargo skirt.
The little tunic top is the Snappy Toddler Top by Prudent Baby. It can also be a dress. Snappy because you're supposed to use snaps but I only had buttons on hand. I love it but it definitely fits a little small. Good thing little miss Sweet Pea isn't very big. Oh, and the bows in her hair? The ones here. They really are non slip! I love them.
