She Who Sews

This month's theme for the Eli Monster ambassadors was the Rainbow. We each had to pick a colour. So Layla jumped on the message straight away, claiming purple (Indigo).



We originally went for a purple, with a purple cats on white print interlock. But it was a big disaster. I haven't quite got the hang of sewing it yet, and unpicking it wasn't an option. I'd ruined the fabric.

So we went out and bought the only purple looking fabric we could find in the local shop, and got this pale purple and deers with bow ties. Needless to say, she loves it!

So here it is, the Ijsje Top. We paired it with shop bought gymnastic leggings, and it's the perfect outfit for her to leap about, do gymnastics, and generally be an active little girl.

So the photoshoot went like this: Can I have a nice pose Layla?



Lets try it with your eyes open...



Less like a zombie?



Or giggle



Or pose like a Ballerina



Nope, cartwheel it is.



Starjump...



Sigh...
