Hello, everyone. Today I would like to share with you my Sophia Outfit.
The tunic was made from an upcycled toddler boy’s shirt. The fabric was reeeeealy stretchy, so a little bit of a challenge to work with.
I wanted something with a bit higher neckline, sleeveless and long – a tunic rather than t-shirt length. I used the existing hem, which I always try to do – saves time and effort and usually looks better than what I can do. Closes with Velcro tabs in the back.
The shorts are bubble shorts, which I just love. There’s something so playful and fun about them. Elastic waist and more elastic on the legs.

I made the shoes from vinyl. They are basically an inner and outer sole covered with vinyl and then vinyl strips make up the rest. I used a bit of Velcro at the ankle for closure.
The headband is just a piece of the tunic fabric stretched big enough to go over her head. Told you it was stretchy.

Hope you enjoyed hearing about how I made the Sophia Tunic & Shorts!
Cool! Did you make the sunglasses?

LOL. I was wondering if anyone was going to ask about those, Clara. They are really pink and yellow sunglasses from another set. I covered them with a silver metallic clay just for the photos. But I didn’t bake the clay. I just peeled it off after I took pictures.

Sorry, I don’t have patterns for sale. I am considering the possibility of doing that at some point, but just not sure yet if I’m there yet. Thanks for asking; it’s good to know there’s interest.
