Hi there!

My name is Angelina and I happily blog over at JoJo and Eloise.

I am so Excited to be a part of Color Your Summer.

What an Awesome idea for a series. I mean who doesn’t LOVE Color, Right??

Speaking of COLOR!!

I am sure you’ve guessed, that my color of choice was ORANGE.

I Love Orange but I don’t typically do a whole lot of work with it on a Whole.

So, when I saw it as an option, I quickly snapped it up.

This project was joint effort. I made it and my daughter designed it.

We first started out with a YUMMY selection of fabrics.

She has been wanting a Circus Themed outfit for some time now.

So I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for that.

Fabric-Orange-teal-gingham

I laid out all the fabric and asked her what she was looking for.

Clown like Pants with Suspenders, is what she told me.

I immediately thought, what a CUTE idea.

She wanted the Orange Gingham as her Pants and the teal as her suspenders.

This girl knew EXACTLY what she wanted.

To make things easy, I just used a pair of her Bloomers as my pattern.

I sewed the pants together and added elastic to the Back.

You can see more on that HERE.

She picked the Teal for her Suspenders.

We cut 4 different Strips 2 at 5 inches wide and 2 at 7 inches wide.

We weren’t sure which width we wanted but settled on the 7 inches.

We folded them in half and sewed RIGHT sides together leaving the ends open for turning.

I top stitched them with an ORANGE thread, then sewed them to the BACK of the pants. I made button holes on the front of the PANTS and sewed buttons to the SUSPENDERS.
