Pathfinder vest and Pixie shorts

My husband recently lost a lot of weight. So on top of a healthier version of my sweetheart I scored a few pairs of his now too big jeans. Before I had a chance to decide what to do with them I got an e-mail from Miranda inviting me to participate in the Twig + Tale Upcycling Tour.

While she was sleeping, I made a Pathfinder vest and a pair of Pixie shorts for my little adventure seeker.

Bravo Puperita!

Do you love surprises? I love surprises!

About three months ago Emi, Kate and I started working on a little project. We were like three school girls whispering and giggling in the corner, planning something super exciting.

Surprise, Annalisa! 

What? You don't know who Annalisa is? She is a heart and soul of Puperita patterns.

Cool hooded vest

Spring has come to Australia. While the sun is nice and warm, the wind can still be chilly. Days are getting longer and warmer, but nights are still cool.

Little Monkey and I love going to playgrounds and parks. Her denim Little Red Riding Hood jacket still fits just fine, but I wanted to make her something else. She is an adventurous little girl, and her clothes needs to be washed often. She needed something that could be layered, something that would shield her from the wind but would not be too hot to wear in the sun. I loved the vests that Suz and Jen made for their daughters. They both used The Woolen Vest, a free pattern by Little Kiwis Closet. I thought a little vest like that would be perfect for our early spring!

So, While she was sleeping, I made a hooded vest for my Little Monkey.

Gotta love a garment that can be sewn in one night and warn the next day!
