The littles have had fun way disproportionate to the $11 price tag on the Lite Brite this week. Retro Hasbro games have a special place in my heart. ; ) Lite Brite was invented the same year I was and I still get a rush seeing the neon pegs light up. (remember this? I have been humming it all day.)
Turns out that magic works in this generation as well.
Since she is wearing it here I should show you the outfit for Tess that is finally finished and on the girl. We made the peasant blouse from Emma Hardy's Making Children's Clothes which I have mentioned before. I LOVE this book for people like me with very basic sewing skills. It is a compilation of the best kinds of online tutorials but someone has drawn up and printed the patterns on heavy paper. Saves a ton of time.
Best part is that there are no special constructions and the sizing appears to be spot on. The parts assembled easily and the finished piece lays nicely.
And it has been tested and proven twirl worthy.

Oh it turned out so cute! I still don’t have that book and need to pick up a copy when I can. I loved my Lite Brite as a kid! I had no idea they were making them again.
You did a great job! And the fabric is sensational!!!
Kim, how funny that when I bing-searched Emma Hardy’s book, I came upon these two-year-old results from your site! That www isn’t so wide after all!
Gorgeous top! I adore Emma Hardy’s books! The only thing I have made from MCC thus far are the boy “shorts” which prompted my husband to ask why our youngest male child was wearing “capris.” But I’m going to try again!
