I made this little summer top for Marie last week...couldn't seem to get good pictures, she'd just woken up from a nap and had gotten it all wrinkly, but here you have it.
Fabric is from a vintage sheet I bought at the Salvation Army. I'm on a vintage sheet kick right now. I can never resist roses anyway.
I love, love, love this free pattern found HERE at fiddlehead.blogspot.com Thank you so much for designing and sharing this, Kristin!
The pattern is only sized for 24 months right now, but it was easy to make a bit smaller for my 8 month old (who wears 9-12 month clothes). I took 5/8 inch seams instead of the recommended 3/8 inches, shortened the straps, and overlapped the front bodice pieces a bit more. The back has elastic in it, so the fit is adjustable. Super easy to sew together! I'd probably make more!
Love,
Jessica
cute!
ReplyDeleteShe is the sweetest baby ever, and of course she is adorable in her new top. I put the first pic on the desktop. :) Can't wait to see you and the babies tomorrow. Love you bunches. Mom
ReplyDeleteOh, Jess---do you think it would be easy to make the pattern into a size 4?
ReplyDeleteYour baby is soooo adorable!!!!

ReplyDeleteI responded to your comment on my blog but I just looked at this again and it is so cute. Thanks for the shout-out, too :)
Wrinkly or not, that top looks adorable. By the way, I think babies who just got out of bed and are wrinkly themselves also are very cute too :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest picture I've seen! Great top!
ReplyDeleteOh it's delightful! So is she. I love the fabric and that you repurposed vintage sheets!
ReplyDeleteShe seems to be saying.....hey, mom , how's this pose...did ya get it?
