KCW Stripes and Stretch

We did it!  We got pictures!  Pretty good ones, too, in my humble opinion.  Phew.  But I'm getting ahead of myself...

Here's my outfit from KCW day two:

It was blatantly inspired by this pin.  The pink pants are, once again, Lovely Rita Skinnies.  I know there are a bunch of skinny pants/jeans patterns out there now, and sometimes I think about branching out...but then I decide that it's better not to mess with a good thing.  I love this pattern and have definitely gotten my money's worth already - and I've only made one size so far!  Five times if I recall correctly...but still, one size.  These were made from an old pair of my pants (mini me?) and I used the existing hem which was slightly nerve wracking (no wiggle room!) but they turned out just right.

The top was self drafted, and I'm pretty much loving it.  I'm going to need to name this one because I see several more in my future.  (Although I may add one more inch of length next time.  Which may be later this week.  New estate sale fabric, remember?)

And now that the business end of this post is out of the way, let's get to the show.  We had two false starts this morning, but after some (unusually painful) grocery shopping, we walked down the street to our favorite park for some sunshine and fresh air.  There I found my toddler picture posing hot-spot:

She ran down...

She ran up...

She ran down...

She ran up...

She ran down...

and it was good.

You may be seeing a lot more of these barn doors in the future.  Crossing my fingers it wasn't a one shot wonder!

Linking up to KCW here.
