Shirley C: Hoo's Ready for Fall!!

I finally finished this outfit that I started on before Bubba's wreck. I can't blame Bubba entirely for my delay. It just seems like there are always things to do and places to go!
I bought this Riley Blake fabric last spring. Last year, Shelby loved owls so I was hoping she'd love this, and she did.
My husband thinks it looks like something from Little House of the Prairie. (What does he know?)

The peasant dress is Simplicity 5695, and the apron dress is Simplicity 2461.

I made the pants from New Look 6473. I thought they would be cute with the apron dress and a white shirt. Emily had just bought a new white shirt for me to embroider something on, but right now, it is blank.

She was here today, and tried it on. I think it's so cute. We didn't get a picture as we "didn't have a bow to match!" Oh yeh, she's a bow head girl! As long as we can keep her like that, we will!
Fall pictures are next week at her school so I'm glad I finally finished this outfit for her to wear!
I'm making her a matching purse. I plan to finish it tomorrow!
Now I hope to have some time to spend on the review I'm doing for my giveaway!

I've had some owl fabric for over 2 yrs. & couldn't decide what to make with it. You did a good job with yours!
