Is this not the ultimate summertime outfit? Comfortable, loose fitting and colorful as the tropical fruit smocked on the front.  It goes so well with the Noel’s gorgeous red mane.
With Kathy Dykstra’s Temily pattern from Australian Smocking and Embroidery, Jo created an outfit as refreshing as a glass of cold orange juice on a hot July day. The child just looks cool. I love the contrast of the orange gingham against the pure white shirt.
The tiered skirt echoes the bright colors in the smocking.
What little girl wouldn’t love this? If I could lay my hands on that issue of AS&E I’d make one just like this for my granddaughter Laurel.
Actually, I thought I had purchased this when MPC had their big sale. But, alas, it was not included in the order. This is a very popular pattern. I’ve seen so many Temilys that everyone who had a copy of that issue must have stitched it. But IMHO, none are nicer than this version.
As always, Jo has done a great job of designing, smocking and sewing on this outfit which clearly exceeds the minimum daily requirement of vitamin C. I love it.
