Kumquat Panda Love!

I LUURVE this fabric! I knew Lyzzy would too...she's always been a teddy bear FREAK incase any of you DIDN'T know, lol (her old room at the farm still has the shelves all the way across the room at ceiling level stuffed with her bears...Mom hates dusting in there!). So I had to do a matchy set for my dd and Romi, my niece. Obviously she lives in DC so they'll never wear them together... but I still love doing the matchies. Lyzzy...you'll have to send me a pic of Romi in her new threads so I can post it here!

I also made a quick pair of panties too for dd...I forgot to lower the rise, so if I'm still 'eh' after a good wash I'll probably lop the top off an inch and add lace again to the waist...otherwise they fit great. (Love to the sewingmama's pattern section where I learned how to sew the hanna undies awhile back <3).

For those interested, I used the Olivia pattern for dd's top...I'd modded it into a raglan (see a few posts back), my own pattern from RTW for the panties, and Kwik sew 2433 for the baby set (the onesie i just cut off at the hip on the pattern)...the hat for dd I used the L baby hat and added 1" for length. Oh, and I'm so proud of myself...b/c I cut and sewed all this up in one evening...save for E's hat which I did the next evening after trying Romi's on her for size. :D
Aand a few pics of E's hair the other day...it's finally thick enough to be able to do these sorts of things: (yay!)
