I've already made the Harmony Drawstring Skirt from Sew Mama Sew, quickly becoming one of my favorite blogs. My daughter LOVES it, and I was able to do it quickly. I think I bought the pocket fabric from PurlSoho and the skirt fabric from Beverly's, my closest fabric/craft store. I think the only thing I would change is to make it a couple of inches longer so she's not showing everyone her knickers!

I also made the Peasant Blouse from Pretty Prudent (formerly Prudent Baby) with some stashed fabric. I added an inch to the length of the sleeves, since my daughter has very sensitive armpits and doesn't like anything under them.

I wasn't too crazy about the fabric afterwards, and didn't like the way it draped (or didn't), but it's still cute on her. I think I'll try this one in a different fabric too, maybe a vintage pillowcase would be better.
I'm in the midst of about 6 different knitting projects and feeling rather buried in yarn. I'm focusing on the Beth Pinafore for the little bun in the oven though. I've made two of them before, one as a gift and one for my little girl, and I love how easy the set of patterns are. I'm using leftover Sugar & Cream yarn in a variety of colors since it's cotton and easy to wash, great for a newborn knit.
I'm already planning my holiday knit gifts. I must get started soon since the second little one is due in a month and a half! I have so many patterns saved or favorited on Ravelry that I'm sure to find them quickly.
Happy crafting!
