A few weeks ago, my husband told me that he needed to stop by the dry cleaner to have them hem the sleeves of one of his suit jackets. I sarcastically responded, “That’s a good idea. I don’t know anyone else who would know how to do that.” In the gentlest voice ever, he responded, “Well, that would be like asking Van Gogh to come paint the walls of your house. You wouldn’t enjoy that.” I looked at him so tenderly and before I could tell him how much I loved him, he added “Well.. .Bob Ross, that would be like asking Bob Ross to paint your house.” Haha! Well, I guess that is a compliment because Bob Ross is one happy guy.
Of course, the next thing out of my mouth was, what can I make you!?! He has been asking for a Boba Fett top for so long, and so I showed him the strike offs that Mandy at Made Whimsy had just sent me and asked what he thought about them. Well, I guess it goes without saying, but he loved them.
I also could not resist this Princess Leia panel for my youngest and the thought of doing photos of my husband and her together. She had several toddler moments during our photo session, but I was so excited to capture a few photos of her smile.
The Patterns
I made my husband the Greenstyle Hudson Pullover in his measured size and added 1.5 inches of length to the bottom. I cut the sleeves at 6 inches below the armscye and hemmed them 1 inch.
I made my daughter the Stitched Upon a Time Artemis Top in Size 18 months. I have made this pattern for my older daughter, and she wears her top all the time, so I have had it on my list to make for the baby. Her shoulders aren’t quite wide enough for it yet, but I love that she will have plenty of growing room for the summer. Of course, that sweet baby belly fits just fine and is just adorable.
She was definitely enjoying posing for her photos in between exploring and refusing to be held!
All of the fabric that I used is cotton lycra. The background has a textured look that is printed on the fabric. I love how soft Made Whimsy cotton lycra is!
Each panel has a matching splatter coordinate.
