Next up on on my Mini Boden list:
The apple pocket jeans skirt.
Except I didn't use a denim skirt, or make beltloops, or make giant apple pockets. I did, however, make a simple tube + casing skirt from a fine wale corduroy and added appliqued flower pockets.
I found the cute t-shirt top at Target yesterday on clearance, so I bought two and cut up one for appliques. Don't look too close at the appliques. My topstitching leaves something to be desired. As do my rounded pocket corners.
Whatever! The pockets are fun!
So much fun that I have very few decent photos. But that is what you get when you ask a girl nicknamed Fidget to stand on a bed for photos. And she doesn't sit still long enough for anyone to look that closely anyway.
Flop!
Oh well. I'm still going to call this one a winner!
details:
about 1/3 sale fabric ($4?)
clearance shirt, $4.70
total outfit: 8.70

What a sweet skirt and a great interpretation of the Boden design. Your little one looks like she's having great fun wearing it....

Love it! I've been so busy I missed this challenge - bummer. I love Mini Boden but refuse to pay those prices! This challenge is such a good idea.
