And as a side, I realized I didn't have anything "Thanksgivingy" for baby girl to wear so off I went to JoAnn's yesterday afternoon. I was going to buy some of their Thanksgiving cotton on sale, but I saw this whale corduroy and couldn't resist. And besides, now she can wear it all winter long rather than just one day. I was going to add a strip of grosgrain ribbon to the front along the empire, but it made it seem too dressy and I thought I'd get more wear out of it as a play-jumper rather than a dressy jumper. This was super easy to make. I eyeballed another jumper she has, made a pattern and went to work (hint for any new sewers- always cut symmetric stuff on the fold)! I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I only wish I would have had snaps in a coordinating color (all mine are turquoise,purple, jade, etc or the standards red, navy, black and white) rather than the covered buttons, then I could have made it adjustable. C'est la vie! I'm pretty happy with it!
Here it is:

Cute! Looks really good for you just eyeballing it. Are you becoming a Nashionista?
Ha! I had to look that one up! Yeah, that's me. If it only has to work for a day (halloween) or a few months (baby clothes) I'm totally gonna nashion it! (I'll bet you end up in Websters soon!)
Cute outfit. Hey is that bear with the tutu from Build a Bear? :)
