I got to the shop and found it was £12 per metre. Ever the cheapskate, I went for half a metre. I've been left with just enough to make a jammie top for one of her toy elephants.
the ribbon trimings were a gift from my wonderful sewing machine providing aunt.
the pattern for the top was a modified Wild Ginger iCare pattern. these are medical non-profit use patterns to print at home. I added little sort of cap sleeves instead of the square scrub style ones. the shorts are made up, but based loosely on a thai-fisherman's-pants pattern. I just did sewn sides instead of wrap arounds.
here's my five year old being a model.
