My Entry for PR&P Week 1: Back to School

September 2, 2011 by Jessica 30 Comments

Guess what? It’s time for a season of Project Run and Play!

Last time I was able to judge, but this time I’m a participant! It’s a fun competition where a bunch of us bloggers create children’s clothing according to a weekly theme. There is a winner, chosen by you guys {SO DON’T FORGET TO GO OVER AND VOTE PRETTY PLEASE} and a panel of judges, each week who gets to provide a tutorial on their project. You much go check out all of the fabulous creations! Here is my design, The Fall Transition Outfit:

When I found out the theme was back to school with a focus on fall, I knew I wanted to make a “layers” outfit. Here in Florida, the fall slowly comes. It starts by getting cooler in the early mornings and evenings but is still blazing hot midday. So, a jacket to provide warmth for the mornings and a tank top underneath to wear during the day was in order.

I wanted an Anthropologie look, mini style. The jacket is made of linen with a fun polka dot lining. It’s my favorite piece of the whole look.

Jacket

I focused a lot on the details to get a more tailored look. Many times children’s clothing can be so frumpy and I wanted it more fitted.

The tank top is a simple one, made of a ribbed knit fabric. I added some random pieces on the neckline for texture. The pants are from some material I acquired a while ago. I made them with a paper bag waistband look and added a belt made with the same fabric as the inside of the jacket to bring it together.

The lovely princess was not in a modeling mood the day I took these, so I have a bunch of her in the middle of making silly faces. I decided to play with them in PSE a bit ๐Ÿ˜‰

What a mess these little ones can be, huh? At least I got some pictures!

So now she has a fantastic little outfit to wear and it’s surprisingly comfortable despite it’s more mature look.

I can’t wait for it to cool down a bit and create more fall inspired looks for her!

Don’t forget to head on over to PR&P and cast your vote for your favorite this week!!!!!

    First off, your daughter is such a little beauty! Second, I love what you came up with. The paperbag waist and belt on the pants is adorable, and I want an adult-size version of the jacket – so cute!

    Well, I’m so glad so many of you like the jacket as that is what my tutorial will be for! I’m even going to share the pattern I made for it. The purse in the pics is from TJ Maxx. I just got it. It’s my new diaper bag ๐Ÿ™‚ As for the pants, they are just like normal pants, just with more material above the elastic to create that look.

    You are so talented!!!! I am really impressed with the jacket… I wish you could give a class or something. I would love to know how you added the “pieces” to the tank and how you decide what you want to do.
    Thanks for the inspiration!
