Little Red – FO 9/2013

May 7, 2013

KCWCrikey, I’m late posting this final outfit for KCW, but I do think I saved the best for last!

Oh those bruises…she’s such a tomboy!

The stripy red Beachy Boatneck and red Bubble Pocket Shorts.  So far, so nothing new for this week.

But…this time I made the sailor version of the shorts.

IMG_7934_edited-1They are cute beyond all words.  I love them!

IMG_7933_edited-1I found these fabulous buttons at The Buttonhole in Chorley. They really pop against the red.

And the Beachy Boatneck refashion is great with them.

Where did that baby of mine go? I’m still getting used to this big girl.

Although I kept to a very simple plan for KCW it was a huge success for me. Miss Button has cute new weekend wear that, with the RTW she already has in her wardrobe, will do nicely until the summer holidays, and KCW summer!

      Wasn’t it wonderful. The shorts did great duty cycling in the park!

    Gorgeous clothes in a gorgeous colour (I’m biased!) on a gorgeous girl! Great photos too, I love the ‘big girl’ one! x

      Thank you! As you can imagine, her daddy is not thrilled by the “big girl” photo! 😉 But she does look adorable in red.

    Seriously, the outfits you’ve made for Button have me thinking about how I can recreate them for myself, especially the cute boatneck stripey shirts. And those tri-coloured buttons are the bomb!

      I want the boatneck shirts too…am on the hunt for the perfect fabric. I’m thinking with tailored shorts I could just about get away with it…or a jaunty skirt with pockets. And if you’d like some of those buttons sending to you just ping me your address and I’ll get them in the post for you!

    Ugh I can’t think of any new ways to say how absolutely adorable she is, it’s exhausting!! Red is a fabulous color on her too!

      There are no words! 😉 Red is my favourite colour on her. She really rocks it!

      She is gorgeous, and I’m thinking that we are the lucky ones!
