Shrugs

I made an oh-so-fashionable shrug for my lovely niece Hazy sometime in the last year or so. It turned into one of the easiest things I've ever sewn, and with the best results in terms of the wearer's enjoyment. The kid loved it!



Here's a more straightforward picture of the garment and its said owner.



For cryin' out loud, she even chose to wear it for her school picture. Brook said the morning of the school pic, Hazy put on her favorite dress and the shrug and then declared, "Perfect!"



So when I came across some bold-looking fake fur recently, I knew only one thing could be on the horizon. This time without sleeves. I guess it's actually more of a capelet or something. Whatever it is, it turned out to be a little less "everyday" and a little more "special occasion." You know, for those more grandiose moments in the playroom and on the playground.

Here it is on one of her dolls. (And vat a doll, eh?)



But there is the below photographic evidence that the young lass has taken a turn or two in it herself.

And here is an end-of-post quick quiz for you:

1. What is Hazy's favorite color?
(Sorry, I know, it's a tough question. Try to relax and think of not-so-obvious colors. Then rethink the obvious ones.)

and

2. How freaking adorable is my niece??!

A) What an inevitable question. I refuse to answer.

B) She's a crazy Q T!

C) Pink?

(Hint: Maybe at least a fraction as cute as this kid, who wore his favorite outfit for his school pic. And who also received the aforementioned eyeball for his recent birthday.)
