I decided a few weeks before Easter that I wanted to make Shortcake an outfit for Easter. Originally I was just going to make a bow tie, but after getting a pattern at JoAnn Fabrics decided to make a shirt and pants as well.
I headed to my favorite fabric store and selected the fabrics. I just couldn't resist the mice fabric and made the other choices based off that one.
I cut and sewed the shirt and pants in the newborn size. The shirt fits well, but I forgot how much work a button down collared shirt is! Yikes!! The pants were easy, but were way too big. I ended up cutting them down using a pair of pants that currently fit. I also cut the tie using the pattern, but decided I liked the version in
this tutorial better. So, I used the neckband from the pattern and the tie from the tutorial.
All of the work was worth it in the end, though. Loved how my little man looked in his Easter duds.
