The Thing I Love About...





There is not much sewing happening this week as the kids are sniffly, coughing and a bit clingy. I think our first winter colds are just around the corner. I did manage to finish off a little 1st birthday pressie over the weekend. Its from the latest Otto - the "toffee tunic". It came together nicely. I was a bit stretched for time and was worried about getting it done. But the thing I love about Otto is that it looks detailed but its often so quick to do. The little capped sleeves with elastic are just gorgeous. I think it will be great for winter with a long sleeved t-shirt underneath. Wide legged pants are made from a slubby (is that a word?)denim with a contrasting pocket. And one day I will learn how to take decent photos!!!

You make the best Otto stuff Kelly!
I was wondering why I hadn't seen this great outfit then remembered I don't have this issue!
Fabulous gift.
Hope no-one gets too sick in your home.

There are those cute pockets again! Great work. I think we all love ottobre, so long as we remember to add seam allowance :P xox

Too cute! Don't you just love little girls clothes? know there are more fabrics and styles for boys now, but girls clothes still take the cake I think! :)

oh my goodness, this is wonderful. I wish I could really sew, instead of just making the same old dress over and over and over........
