I used McCall's 3737, which I was thinking I had purchased a year or so ago. However, I couldn't find it on McCall's site, and the copyright on the pattern is from 2002. So I most likely bought this pattern to make a jumper for my youngest sister (but never did).
I made view C, size 3.
The fabric is the softest ever baby corduroy. So soft. My mother-in-law sent it to me with the patterns and other sewing things that she sent me from her friend. There was just one yard, and I was so happy I was able to get this jumper out of it. The only thing I had to purchase was a zipper. I also bought some ribbon so I could sew bows on the tucks like the pattern suggests, but I couldn't get the bows tied right and I liked the way the jumper looked with the thrifted turtleneck I found to go with it, so I left it plain.
I would like to make my daughter several dresses, but I think I'll go back to size 2 for those. A jumper can get away with a little growing room but dresses look a little sad if they are too large!

You are amazing. So sweet and pink for a little girl.
She did look cute! Could you give me the pattern info on the skirt you wore on Sunday? Sue
Aww, thank you everyone. ♥
Sue, the pattern is: Simplicity 3881. I looked on the Simplicity site and they still have the pattern in their online catalogue: http://www.simplicity.com/p-2045-misses-skirts.aspx so you could probably find it in the store still!
Beautiful! You did a great job!
