I am after this one. I am pooped. I love the way this turned out except that it is too big and the fabrics don't go together as well as I envisioned. But it's still cute. It was a practice round and I will start the real thing tomorrow x2 because I am making one for teathyme's dd. I used Simplicity 4714 for the top and I was incredibly pleased with how this pattern worked. It was easy and netted really professional results. There was a really odd "twist the shirt through the facing and shoulders" thingy which should have been complicated but was really well explained.
The pants were Simplicity 3853 but shortened.

And those buttons were far easier than I thought they would be. The whole thing was far easier than I thought it would be.

BTW, the buttons and the elastic button loops came in my pringles swap can:)

PS: We just cut our lawn a couple of days ago. It grows super duper fast.

WOW! the stripes on the back match up perfectly! Bravo. I'm skeerd of stripes because I'm too lazy to make them match so nicely.

Great job.

:drop: holy heck, they do! How did I do that? I wasn't even trying. i didn't even think about the lining up issue. LOL, I can't believe it lined up that perfectly on ACCIDENT.

SHHH, don't say it was an accident! Actually what it means is that that is quality fabric. The cheap stuff doesn't match when folded in half, the good stuff always does almost without thinking.

adorable!!!

I like the chicken fabric!!! Too cute!! I think you are blowing everyone away with your points (so far anyway hahaha)

That is a really neat outfit! Cute, cute! The top is very interesting.

I love it when something turns out to be easier than I expected. Glad it worked out that way for you.

Adorable with the chickies on the trouser legs! and wow I'm impressed with the matching stripes in back, too!
