Pattern: Whimsy Couture Easy Peasant Top PDF pattern
Fabric: quilters cotton from my stash. Yay for using up fabric that I've had for several years!!
My thoughts: I made the size 4t for Marie and it seemed to run right on, size wise. This was a very easy, simple design that went together quickly for a fun, mama-made summer top that looks great with jeans or shorts.
I opted to skip the elastic on the sleeves to create "flutter sleeves" and followed the included instructions to add a contrast band along the bottom. The pattern also included instructions for puffed sleeves, ruffles along the bottom, a tuxedo front, and pockets. Overall, it was a versatile pattern for a breezy relaxed shirt or dress. Great for beginners!
