Peace,
Both Sister P and Sister B asked me about posting this a little while ago and I have not been at all on my post so please forgive me y’all…your girl is still recovering from Mike…
This blog post is about helping to outfit our daughters. Most of this post will come from utilizing the gift of sewing. If you do not sew or don’t know anyone who does, there are plenty of sisters on this site who do…just reach out to a few or two…
The styles you will see presented are for Jr. Hautes. I have found that when styling for your daughter you have to use the same minds eye that allows you to style for yourself. You can not use the standard of this world because if you do you will definitely come up short! Also, make the garment a little to big…you know how they grow!
That being said, please take a look at some of the designs I have tweaked for my own Jr. Haute. One design secret I have found helpful is the use of costume and pajama patterns for both myself and Jr. Haute. It’s all in the fabric ladies…
For instance, this is McCall’s 5744. This is a pajama pattern. I altered the neckline…though I would suggest just making a dickie, so much easier…
The result?
Anywhoo, here’s another idea utilizing a costume pattern. I haven’t made this one yet but check Butterick 6697. The little pick pants suit with the umbrella…reminiscent of anything you’ve seen?
This pattern seems very simple…even if you don’t do buttons, buy you some frog closures and call it a day! This pattern can be used for your older Jr. Hautes too!
Now, this one, I make the heck out of! Jr. Haute has this one on in many a photo! It is so simple, yet versatile. Add pants and headpiece and its a done deal! Simplicity 5827, normally dress A!
Another costume pattern that allows for a decent length child’s tunic…ummmm ya might wanna leave off the fur… Simplicity 3595
Now, I’m not going to put my daughter in any Dr. J shorts, but these will do nicely…McCalls 5457
This one is one Jr. Haute picked out herself…I started it for her, but found the jacket was to big…have to restart it. Simplicity 5745
This one is Simplicity 3588.
I hope this has been helpful!
