Then I nearly choked on my drink

Today I was parusing one of my all time favorite clothing lines for children. (I should mention I have never actually purchased anything from them, just like to look *read drool*) I love looking at their shoes and they are currently have their big clearance so I was thinking I might be able to justify buying Evie a pair at 80% off (still couldn't) but I about choked to death on my drink when I clicked and saw this:

Doesn't she look just like a Bonjour Evette doll? I LOVE her little dress and her pink hair. So much so that there may be a pink haired doll coming to our house this weekend. Looking at all the clothes got me so excited to start on Evie's spring wardrobe. It is going to be full of hand made items (by me) that are all light soft cotton and totally breathable. It is so hot here and the girl runs so her checks are often rosy, she needs the lightest clothes possible ha! I am for sure doing a knock off of these shorts (which I have already made and LOVE):
and this:

and these:

And totally this outfit:

Are there enough readers who are mommie with daughters who might like to learn how to make some of these? I don't want to isolate readers. Although this week I am isolating everyone who does not like using aprons so... :) Now I just need to learn how to make shoes!! Sending warm thoughts your way!
PS Answering a few questions:
I bought the personalized cookie stamping kit HERE at William Sanoma, couldn't rave about it enough.
I got Evie's cute ruffle shirt seen in THIS post HERE at Target. I bought it in every color and am sooo glad I did
 I purchased the ruffled tank top seen yesterday on the manaquin on clearance from JCrew online but I can't find it on their site anymore. You could totally make it though... do it do it do it! ;)

    I have two daughters about a year apart and they are now the same size, so I now need two of everything, but my husband doesn't want them to match, so yes, I need to know how to make these cute outfits for my girls because i am too cheap and don't have enough time to find them different outfits, similar enough that they don't fight over them, but not matching! Hope that made sense! Thanks for all of your patterns. I LOVE them all!

    There is some serious cuteness going on at that website! I would wear 95% of them if they were in my size, but I couldnt bring myself to pay that much. So, yes, I would definately love to learn to make any of these!

    I would LOVE to see tutorials for these clothes. They are so classic and European--my favorite combo. And I love classic European shoes, too. They are so great and hold up better than their sparkly counterparts.
