Girl Charlee approached me to see if I wanted to sew something with their fabric. Uh DUH. Yes! It’s about darn time that I turn on the freaking sewing machines. So thanks to them for the extra bit of motivation. :) I love their fabric. I chose this heathered specialty hacci sweater knit. It's a light-weight, ultra-soft sweater knit that's perfect for the weird transition to fall where it's hot one minute and cold the next. And it washes and wears so beautifully. I made up the pattern for this sweater. I haven't yet perfected the pattern, but once I do, I'll share that with you. It's only 2 pattern pieces, plus binding. It's similar to the Cocoon Cardigan from True Bias. It's a little smaller than I had originally planned, but it looks so darn cute on June anyway.   Junie is too cute. She didn't want me to take photos of her, so I had to bribe her with phone time. But when it comes to painting her nails, she begs me to do it! She's such a cute girly-girl. I can't handle it, total cuteness overload!! Outfit details:

• bow: handmade
• sweater: handmade

I didn't play around with style as much as I normally do, but I had a great time practicing keeping consistency together. I figured this was pertinent since the beloved Gene Wilder just passed. I'm all about nonsense. Here's to the original Willy Wonka. I saw this quote and couldn't help but chuckle. It's so true! I had to letter it for the series. :)
