What was your inspiration?

A friend asked me to make a baptismal outfit for her great grandson for his baptism. He is 2 years old. She didn't want it 'fancy' or 'girlie', but very boyish. So I decided the little classic 'clam-digger cargo pants= with a very relaxed but classy shirt, and topped off with a wonderful little hat would make a cute little appropriate suit.

What are you most proud of?

The entire ensemble turned out so very cute. It was very appropriate without being overly elaborate, and looked VERY boyish but cute.

The pattern for this ensemble is Simplicity 1923 (shirt, vest, pants). Unfortunately I didin't have a pattern for the hat. So I bought a cotton man's 'golf cap' from a thrift store and disassembled it to get an idea as to the the panel size for the main part of the hat. It took several tries in muslin to get it right. If I come across a hat pattern that is comparable to the one I 'made up', i will post it. Good luck with all of your projects!!
