Say whaaaat? It’s true, I made some girl clothes a few weeks ago.
Finn’s friend had a birthday and I took it as an opportunity to make girl clothes :) Here is how the conversation went in my head. “Oh your daughter wants a certain toy and will be bored if she has to open clothes? Welp, I have two boys and would like to make a skirt.” I think it’s the perfect situation- I get my two funny, rowdy, crazy boys and I will make all of our girl friends dresses so I won’t have to miss out on that. One thing I will gladly miss out on… the drama-filled, moody, teenage girl years.
I used Dana’s Simple Skirt Pattern for the skirt. Her pattern is for 3-4T so I just subtracted 2 inches or so for a 2T. It was really easy and quick.
For the top, I started with a plain off white t-shirt. Ironed fusible web to a scrap piece of the skirt. Cut out the letter “K” and ironed it in place. Then I hand embroidered around the edge of the letter. Lastly, I added a little heart just to girl it up even more.
Ok, So gabba gear can be hard to find. It’s sold randomly in mall kiosks…sometimes. But a mom’s best bet is online. You can google brobbee backpack. i think the gabba friends blog might have a link as well. Food luck!
This little outfit is so sweet! I would love to have you link up with Creative Me Monday this week at The Southern Institute! My linky party runs all week long. Here’s the link:
This is just the cutest outfit ever! You are so talented. Love the way you made the K on the shirt match the skirt.

Very cute! love the matching shirt! :)
Super cute! As a mom to a girl I can tell you she would love getting this for her bday and would prefer it over a toy. :)
That is so cute!! I want one for my little girl, whose initial is a K, too! :)
