I found this vintage girl's pattern at a thrift store for .25. It was uncut! I decided to sew it up in a whimsical nautical whale print that has been floating around the online children's sewing world for awhile. It's a cute pattern that features two back pieces on either side of the front piece. It has a long waistband that slides through an opening on the side seams and then buttons around to the front. The waistband can be buttoned to a choice of front buttons to adjust the fit. Patch pockets feature top-stitching and red heart buttons. If I get ambitious I'll add some rickrack to the hemline. Here's where the skirt stands at the moment. I need to hem and do the waistband.
The skirt will be included in The Hundred Skirts Project. I'll buy a white or red tee to go with it. It's a size 7/8 depending on where one buttons the waistband.

Oh very pretty :)
I would suggest a red tshirt...hides stains better ;) Since Daisy is that age I happen to be fighting that constant battle lol.
Adding an applique of the whale surrounded by blue on the tshirt would be cute...and then I could learn another A ;)

That turned out very cute. If you're feeling really up to more, then I think it'd be very cute to steam-a-seam appliqué those whales across the front of the t-shirt. Maybe ZZ around to keep them on and paint water coming out the spouts.
