Spring Frock

I love the thought of the Spring season just around the corner!

I'm ready for some color!

With that in mind, I made this new outfit for Miss D.....

I based the outfit off of Simplicity pattern #2680.

 I had this faux-suede fabric leftover from B.'s cowboy Halloween costume, and I LOVED the idea of a chic' little jacket for my Little Miss D.

Truthfully, it's all about the collar.

The gathered collar gives it some 'umph'!

Yep, she's a very classy lady...

 The green floral jumper is cute on it's own, too.

 I like the neat square neckline....

 The ease of the zippered back....

 The top-stitching detail...

The gathered waistline...

 And, of course, the DARLING 'bubble' skirt!!!

The jacket is fully lined... 

and thus, completely reversible!!!

 D. was happy with the result, and so am I:) 

 I am entering this cute ensemble over at Rachel's blog "Family Ever After". 

 She's hosting a great competition called "Sew-Vivor" and I'd LOVE to be a contestant.
