little birdie shorts & tee

Anyone else out there have a teeny tiny waisted one?  Well, my youngest is certainly that.  So besides her wearing the same shorts as last summer, I decided I need to make her a pair.  And with a coordinating super cute top, why not?

I came across this fabric at Crafty Planet a while back and it is so super cute!  Just cutesy enough for my girl. 
I traced a pair of her existing shorts and added a couple of Rae pockets!  Yep, I’ll just nickname it that, the Rae pocket.  Otherwise known as the Pleated Pocket tutorial.  Just sized it down a bit and did a gather instead of the pleat, that’s all. 
Of course I did manage to sew the pockets on in a weird location, so I had to rip them off and sew them back on, this time while the shorts were already sewn together – but it can be done. 

The tee came from target and yep, just added a teeny patch to the front.  I left the edges of the polka dot raw so it would fray up a bit for extra cuteness. 

Cheese!
