Creative Share Wednesday!

 Is this not the cutest little ruffle booty that you've ever seen?!

I tried out a new item this weekend.  I found this tutorial on Prudent Baby.  It has a link to a super simple 2 piece pattern sized for 18-24 months.  I used shorter elastic for the band to fit Emma.  They are a little big right now, but will be perfect this summer!  I didn't follow the tutorial exactly.  I added ruffles to the back and used elastic thread at the leg openings instead of creating a casing for elastic.  I find that using elastic thread allows more room for growth and is less harsh on those sweet chunky baby thighs.  I finished all exposed edges with a zig zag stitch for a little 'rough around the edges' look.  I've made 4 of these this weekend because they are so quick and simple.  The most time consuming part is creating the ruffle.


I listed these 2 pair in my etsy shop.  Come back tomorrow for sneak peek at Emma's Valentine's outfit!


I also have plans of making this into a sweet little vintage style romper that may or may not work out.  We shall see.


I'm linking up for the first time this week.  The Trendy Treehouse hosts a Creative Share Wednesday every week.  Hop on over to see LOTS of great handmade creations.
