The Portion of my Inheritance

I have used this vintage jumper pattern twice.

The pattern is a size 4, so the first time I made it I cut it down to a size 3.

I used a baby corduroy for the jumper, it presses well and makes great pleats.

I used a cotton blend for the shirt, trimmed with the same corduroy on the sleeves.

This time I needed a size 5, so I had to increase the pattern.

Once again I used a baby corduroy, I just love how the pleats lay with this fabric. It also makes the jumper more for fall and winter.

The jumper buttons up the back.

This is the vintage pattern I used for the blouse.

This time the blouse has gathered sleeves, made in a cotton print and trimmed with the same fabric from the jumper.

  I also trimmed the collar with the same fabric.

Aria is always so happy when I make her something.

And it makes it all worth it!
