So a few weeks (note: many now, I’m a bad blogger) ago we went to Disneyland Paris! We had two very excited little girls (1yo and 4yo cousins) who needed things sewing for them (and me!). I didn’t want to go too overboard (however my niece and other half did end up with matching underpants) but wanted something simple that matched for the littles and something not too matchy-matchy for me and our little one.

My first choice was two ponchos for the girls. We were traveling in April and it’s still quite chilly out then and they could wear the ponchos everyday. It took a little bit of coaxing for the older one to actually wear it in the end but once it was on she realised she loved it. The littlest didn’t have much choice once it was poppered up but didn’t complain either. Win. I used A Stitch Upon A Times Riding Hood Poncho. I’d made one before but this time chose to add pockets! These were remarkably easy following the instructions in the pattern and I was immensely pleased with the results. Think the only issue I had was with the poppers, I was rushing and ended up wasting so many!

Next the tops for me and my little one. I chose Duck Butt Designs PPT (Panel Pocket Tee) and the Womens Hourglass Pocket Pullover (WHiPP – the adult PPT) as it had the ability to colour block! Oh and pockets! This allowed me to make the same top but position the fabric differently for each. The Mickey fabric is actually and upcycled XL nightgown, I even managed to use the ‘M’ chest motif on the tiny one! I am super happy with these two tops and we got many compliments whilst we were out at Disney!

We all had a fantastic time and can’t wait to go again in a few years when they are both older, this trip was obviously more for my Disney obsessed partner than for them! 😉

Till next time Disney!
