I was going to make a cute little skirt to match the shoes but then I came across this cute little polo dress found at Sumo's Sweet Stuff.
Mine pretty much follows the tutorial except I didn't have a white knit shirt but had a bunch of knit fabric that I used instead. I also did the lettuce edge on the bottom layer instead of cutting it off which gave me four layers. I also didn't cut my shirt at all and used the already hemmed shirt to give the skirt a nice finish.
Look at all those fun girlie ruffles!
The underside isn't the prettiest because lets face it, knit is knit and is a very stubborn fabric sometimes. Here is a close up.
Also, I had to make a cute card to go with the little gift. I wanted it simple and easy yet cute. I used the tutorial at The Shabby Nest to make the pennant bunting on the front and added simple ribbon lining the bottom.
Check out these parties I've linked up too!

What an awesome gift! I too have a little guy and there's just not as much cute stuff to sew for boys, so I definitely take advantage of baby showers and b-day parties for little girls! I especially think the shoes are just darling. What a lucky little girl to be receiving such a great present from you!
