Yes little Miss Iris has been in the works since Miss Lily, but I didn't think I could tackle the two at once so I spread it out a bit. Miss Iris should be done sometime in April!
Just like my twin nieces Lily and Iris , the two patterns look alike in ways but have totally different personalities! Miss Iris is a sassy little bubble skirt that will be ONE pattern for sizes 6mo-14! YES! Miss Iris fit on one pattern sheet so this one will not need to be separated into two size ranges!
Miss Iris will also have 3 different lengths for each size. The shorter length is cute and funky over leggings, the medium length option comes right to the knee and looks perfect with a tee and flip flops, and the longer version is perfect for the girl who needs below the knee skirts for school or church
Miss Iris can be done in cute funky fabrics for a more trendy look, the outer layer covered in tulle for the look of a tutu, or done in sweet vintage florals for a more girly look. You can dress her up or dress her down, she is adorable either way! The contrasting waistband makes it just precious over a personalized or appliqued onesie for babies and toddlers.
The skirts sew up in about an hour and are perfect paired with plain inexpensive tees. I also plan to include a few applique designs, but that's where you come in! What applique/embroidery designs would you like? I had in mind a butterfly, a flower, and maybe a little umbrella. What do you think?
My girls are just in LOVE with these skirts and they call them their tutu skirts. There was even a time when Maddie had to wear her tutu skirt to bed every night! I think she once went three days without letting me wash it! Thank goodness she had been playing indoors for those days or it could have been pretty bad! LOL!
I just couln't let the post go without showing you a couple of pictures of Maddie in the tutu skirt, boots and pj's. What am I going to do with this kid?? LOL!
I have more pictures HERE on flicker if you would like to take a look.

Look on the bright side - at least she is WEARING clothes.... my daughter went through a phase of running around in the buff...... (I am convinced my grey hair started during this time).
so you give your Maddie a big hug and be VERY thankful :0D
I think the red boots are perfect!!!
My oldest would love it.
Sigh, he's 17 now and into the Johnny Cash all black look. Bless the dears they do grow out of it eventually.
Love you and your blog samantha. God bless you and yours.
