Size is relative I have learned. After I came home from the hospital with a tiny little boy I was convinced my daughter must have had a growth spurt. She seemed huge. I insisted that we needed to measure her length and I was surprised to find that she was only 1/2 cm taller than last time. As it turned out it was only in comparison to her little brother that she felt so huge.
It makes me sad in one way. She is no longer my little baby girl with tiny hands and feet. She is now a little determined girl and a big sister. An absolutely wonderful big sister, might I add. She has taken her little brother with open arms despite him eating into her time and our attention. She wants to cuddle and hold him all the time and is really patient and helpful. So proud as well and wants to show him off to everyone.
I might not be able to look at her as my baby any longer and her hand might no longer be a baby hand but I still love holding it when walking home from Kindergarten. It is really the sweetest, warmest feeling there is. I dread the day when she is too old to hold my hand.
Big sisters need clothes as well and I wanted to make her something useful this time so I made her a hoodie in pretty bold colors. Or I feel these are insanely bold colors. I am the person that only has black, grey, brown and white in my wardrobe. Colors really frighten me and picking out the orange cuffs and bias tape was a real agony but I like the end results. Kids clothes should be in happy colors. I bought the Znok jersey knit from Olivias (great store with fast shipping). The lining, zipper, and rib knit are from Sydilla. Pattern is Organic Star from Ottobre 1/2014. In hindsight I see that I should have done pattern matching on the hood but my brain wasn’t fully functional when I cut this and I probably didn’t have enough fabric either… That is my excuse at least!
My not so little girl modelled it for me. Not sure who taught her those poses but she was dead set on this being how you model.
Helt skjønn – både jakken og modellen 🙂
That turned out great! I think the hood looks fine 🙂
