Flannel Jumper for Miss A

Has anyone else heard about the Kids Clothes Week Challenge over at Elsie Marley? I hadn't until today, but I feel like I should join considering I have been sewing new clothes for Audrey during her naps for the last two days. I have never sewn kid's clothes before, but it so much fun.

I have been wanting to sew a jumper for quite some time now, but couldn't find just the right pattern so I decided to make my own and am really happy with the results. It was surprisingly easy, from start to finish I was able to get it done during her morning nap. I originally bought some cute corduroy fabric to use, but didn't want to waste it if my pattern didn't work. I am glad I used this piece of flannel that I had sitting around, it is super cute and was very forgiving to sew with. The jumper isn't perfect, but most of my sewing isn't and I don't think she will ever care.

I used this tutorial from Made By Rae for the tights. It's a great tutorial and was really easy. Although I will need to add a few inches to the length next time, I'm not sure if it is the bulk added by the cloth diapers or just long legs, but they are a little short for her.
