We've got a few parties coming up, one of them for little Violet who is turning one.Her mum (who is a florist) loves all things girly and pink and also loves flowers (well obviously!), so I thought there was nothing better in the stash than this cream and pink rose print for her present.
The top was super-easy - Ottobre 1/2008 - design 1, the Nirunaru top.
I did an 86cm one so it will be like a tunic in summer and can then be worn with a T-shirt as the weather cools.
The hat is another Make It Perfect Lazy Day reversible which I think will get lots of wear in this early summery blast of weather we have been having.
The flower is not actually attached to the shirt -it has both a hair clip and a brooch fastening on the back so it can be worn in her hair, on her hat or on the shirt, with her mum just removing the fastening that is not being used.
Another hat is cut and ready to go and I feel a retro dress/top coming on for the next birthday girl.
Off to trawl the fabric stash again...

That is a gorgeous outfit and as a mother of a Violet myself - let me say that a gift like that would be greatly appreciated!
My Violet is 10 months old and we are in Melbourne too...how funny is that?

That outfit looks very cute. I love the matching hat. I think I must do something like that for DD too, or maybe my niece.
Great fabric choices. Am trying to find a local copy of the hat pattern with no luck but will order online as I love it! And I love that you didn't attach the flower to the top. Can you take a photo of the back if it's not too late? I'd love to see how you set it up :) What a great pressie!
Just lovely Karen, a perfect present for a little girl.
Just owndering what your tags say, it looks good on there.
Didiy ou use a pattern/tutorial for the fabric flower?
This is an adorable set! I've had this dress pattern traced off for Cheriese for about 6 months now but haven't made it up yet, I'll probably have to trace off a bigger size now lol!
What a beautiful gift, Violet is a gorgeous name too!
That is beautiful, I must make that cute top for my brand new niece, love it
