Original Girl Scout Uniform part 2...

Okay, I got a bunch of the uniform sewn.  I also embroidered my daughter's first badge for the uniform.  The latter I had to laugh about, as I did it during the hour long Girl Scout meeting on Tuesday.  I was 95% done by the end of the meeting.  The other girls there didn't have a clue what the stuff in my sewing box was (thread, pins, etc.).  Of course my daughter knew.  They also couldn't believe I embroidered all I had, so quickly.  They thought it took months.  Doesn't take much to impress five and six year olds, but I felt good for a few minutes. :-)

Here is the pattern for the outfit I used.

 

These are in order, the back, sleeve and front.  I ended up cutting more of a "V" on the front neckline and will probably cut it a little deeper after the next fitting.  I could sew the second sleeve on, but I'm nervous it won't fit, so I'll have my daughter try it on in the morning, just to be safe.

And here is the badge.  It's the Child Nurse badge.  According to the original manual, she had to help with a child under two years for a period of time and know what to do in certain situations.  Granted, I updated some of the child rearing knowledge to reflect modern ideas versus 100 year old ideas.  Fortunately for my daughter, her little brother is just turning two this month, so she had a baby at home to practice with.  I just need to trim off the badge and stitch it to the sleeve when it's ready.
