Winter Ottobre Plans for DD

I'm feeling a little guilty that I haven't sewn anything of note for DD this year (just one little nightie). I've got heaps of plans bubbling away for Ottobre patterns that I want to sew for her this winter. I have a feeling she won't be fitting into many of last winter's clothes, so I will probably need to be sewing her something!

Anyway, I thought I'd keep all the inspiration pictures here so that when I'm ready to put it together, I can come back here and update the process...

Dresses:

Pinafores:


Long Sleeved Tops:




Jackets/Coats/Ponchos:


Skirts:



Pants:

Pyjamas:

That's a lot of clothes for one winter, particularly since she'll be wearing school uniforms most of the time. However, it's only for inspiration, and so I don't forget which patterns I wanted to try. I also need to find a pattern for a fairly plain pull-over style hoodie to use up some of the fleece that I have sitting in my stash cupboard.

I'm figuring for winter, she'll need:

Tops: 4

Skirts: 2
