This issue begins with cute things for little girls. Comfortable jersey capris are paired with a tank and sweater. The capris are also cute under the light cotton skirt, creating a fun spring look while the days are still cool.
If you need something snazzy for your little boy, this pair of dress pants and buttoned shirt should fit the bill. He’ll be the most dapper young man at any Spring event.
There are plenty of details in the overalls in this issue. We do not wear a lot of long pants here most summers, but these could easily be made as shorts. Sew them up in a pink or purple twill rather than dark denim or swap the white topstitching thread with a variegated pink swirl and this pattern will work for the most girly girl as well.
Sized from 92-140, these sporty shorts are sure to be a popular choice for kids on the go this summer. The raglan sleeve hoodie in this issue is a great layering option to take the kids from spring days through cool summer camping at the beach.
In the lower size ranges, there is a cute tank style tunic with little cap sleeves, pants, two rompers, a tank style body suit, two t-shirts and adorable overalls.
For older girls, the issue includes a polo style knit dress and tank top with a gathered neckline. The shorts are shown in a fun polka dot cotton stretch satin. I do not remember noticing such a fabric on past visits to the fabric store, so I am curious to find it. Of course this warrants a trip to the fabric store, right? :)
Girls also get a knit tank with tied shoulder straps and a sweet woven top with a gathered neckline. There is also a woven dress with a sweet simplicity that makes it look good without being too fussy.
Older boys get a sleeveless hoodie with a zipper and cropped pants with plenty of pockets. There is also a comfortable knit top with collar. The short sleeve button down shirt can pass for dressy or casual, so it looks like all the kids will be ready for the season’s special events, from graduations to weddings and more!
