Brynwood Needleworks - Embroidered Bibs |
I was invited to a Birthday party over the weekend. My great-nephew's daughter turned two, and they had a celebration. I don't usually purchase toys for little ones, as it seems that grandparents and friends usually do that, so I decided I'd get her an outfit or two and personalize them with embroidery. I knew I wanted to buy her a pair of bib overalls. When someone asked her mom what size she wears, her momma replied with "size 4", so I figured I get size 5 so they'd last for a while.

Once at the party, my niece's momma said that their daughter is actually in size 3 now, but that she said size 4 to have something to grow into. I guess she won't be wearing these size 5 gifts for a while, but she'll actually get a lot of use out of them as she grows.
I also got her this cute little leggings set. I'm thinking she'll be able to fit into this first. I chose coordinating colors from the leggings for the flowers I embroidered along the neckline.

This one I kept really simple, only adding a green stem stitch line, and applying daisies and roses on each side of the botton placket.
Mom and Dad were grateful for the gifts. Two year old daughter didn't really care about the clothes she received from others and me, as she was intrigued with her new toys. That's okay. It was a lovely afternoon gathering, with good food, friends, and family.
I'll be sharing other fun things from the weekend with you during this week. Of course, Tag will chime in tomorrow, too. Another week...and I'm off to the races first thing. Tag has another vet appointment. He'll tell you about it tomorrow. Gotta run!
The outfits are too cute.
ReplyDeleteI hope Tag is feeling better.

Such sweet little outfits! You've given me an idea to put in my memory bank for when our soon-to-be born grandgirl gets to that age.

ReplyDeleteHi Marit:

Beautiful embellishments to these super cute clothes for a little girl. Wonderful personalization of store purchased outfits.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sherry. It sure was a fun project. I can't wait to see her wearing them, but it's going to take a while. When people asked what size our niece wears, her mama said Size 4. So, I got Size 5, thinking she'd get a little longer use out of them before they're handed to her little sister. Turns out, she currently wears Size 3, so it's going to be a little longer than I thought before she can even wear them. Good thing these items never go out of fashion. Even so, I'll sure look forward to the time I'll get to see her wearing them.
