Benjamin's Button-On Suit

I can't believe I got it done! 

I am so excited about finishing Benjamin's blessing outfit :)

I love how it turned out, I hope his mom will be happy with it.

I sewed my heart out....

Did I mention that the last time I sewed this pattern, it was for my now 19 year old son?  Lol...He was 3 when I made him his last smocked outfit. 

 We lived in the South so it wasn't uncommon to look like "Little Lord Fontleroy".

The pants are little knickers.  (cute!)

I used six antique buttons to attach the pants to the shirt.

The fabric is Swiss cotton.

I added a little label to the inside of the shirt.

This is a view of the back of the shirt.

I used antique pearl buttons and only two are the same.

I thought it added character to have them all just a little different.

Benjamin's blessing is on Sunday.

I will share photos of Benjamin in his outfit next Wednesday.

I hope it fits him okay, keep your fingers crossed :)
