Day 1
You can call this a "House Divided Outfit" or a "Who Changes the Diaper Wins" outfit :) In a home where mom and dad do not agree on which team to root for, the child is stuck in the middle and ends up with more collegiate wear than necessary (after all, the only two colors she REALLY needs are orange and blue---but I digress).
I whipped together this adorable reversible pinafore so that she could support both teams at the same time.
So, which side is on the outside? Easy. The parent that changes the diaper can show their school pride! See...it is a win-win situation. One parent is happy because Lily sports their school colors. The other parent is happy because they didn't have to change a stinker!
I modified this pattern so that it would fit LA and not have buttons. Really, this is probably a more accurate pattern, but you go with what you've got sometimes! It took less than an hour to finish and I love it! It is the perfect "year round" top as it can be worn alone, with a short sleeve shirt , or with a long sleeve turtleneck. I have plans for some "bottoms" to go with it...but you'll have to wait for another post.
Now, I'm off to change a diaper :)

That's brilliant!
Really is such a good idea! Too bad one of my schools hasn't licensed any fabric -- I think they want to make everything themselves. (Notre Dame).
