Corduroy Jumper

Made this quick pleated jumper from a Simplicity (2828) pattern and Robert Kaufman corduroy fabric.  Bright, isn’t it?

I added the bias tape and ric-rac trim mainly because I only had one yard of fabric and hence had to drastically cut the hem.  My fabric shortage also prohibited me from matching the print at the bodice, but that’s fine.  The bias tape gives the hem a bit of a curl, but I’m afraid it will require ironing!  There should be another jumper coming in the next few days since I make two of everything, although the girls are actually getting to a point where they can share clothes.

  1. I want one in my size! It’s just darling. I think I’ll try to find some of that fabric to make some cute pants for my 3-year old.

  2. What a cute dress! Great use of what you had left…I dont mind the fact the the pattern doesn’t meet up at all. If it bothers you you could always add some ribbon around the waist to divide the top and bottom.
