gathered linen
This is a new design I've been working on- soft linen skirts for small girls (2-8 yrs). They are pretty simple, really: creamy, soft vintage fabric or crisp navy linen with an appliqued crochet patch. All the skirts have a double-gathered waistband and lots of room to grow. I'm hoping to add them to my shop update tomorrow.
I think I was quite influenced by the children's clothes in Noa Noa in the making of these skirts. And when I found the cream vintage linen in a second-hand shop, I knew what I wanted to do with it.
It turns out that children will model any clothing for you, as long as you supply them with food...
Adorable. I will hopefully remember to check the shop tomorrow! What about the cute headbands?

ooooooo, love the headband. My Dad always jokes about headbands, that they make your baby stupid because it cuts off blood supply to their brain :) Some I received for my daughter are so tight, those look comfy and cute, not just a big puff ball on the top of their head.
