Kids A Go Outfit

This next outfit is one of my favorites, it is made as a copy cat from a boutique outfit I got Evie in Bali. The store was called Kids a go go :) I really wanted to share it before Easter because I think it would be so cute at an Easter egg hunt, maybe in a soft yellow color? The pattern I am sad to say is super small. Poor Evie was stuffed into this one ha! Fingers crossed we have a girl! I would defiantly enlarge it if you have a chunky babers or a child older then 12 months. I don't know exact rules for enlarging but I try to go 10% for each year. But really I just take a random guess, copy it then see how it looks. I know, not the best method ha! Anyway, this outfit it sooooo light and comfy and when ever Evie wears it she looks so cool and relaxed... well she did before it got way to small ha!

I used some pre embroidered fabric for the top front. I think this makes it look a little less homemade.

I just love how comfy those little pants are!

(I forgot to mention in the last post and got some emails, Evie's shoes are from Target.com)
This time Evie's reward was a strawberry milkshake.

Although to be honest I just REALLY wanted one of the restaurants Choco-Hazlenut milkshakes-- YUM! But she guzzled that strawberry one like crazy

While the sewing of this outfit is fairly straight forward and simple, I must warn you that the seam allowance on the top pieces is really small. If you would feel more comfortable you could always enlarge that page of the pattern and sew with larger allowances. The pattern is available HERE on scribd. 
What you will need:
1 Yard fabric
Thin pieces of elastic
2 Buttons
Optional embellishment for pant legs
Iron
Sewing machine
Scissors
Needle and thread
