Abby has recently decided that she does want me to sew for her, so I may be going a bit overboard. Two tops last week, this top, a dress and many more tops planned.
This is the Oliver + S Roller Skate Tunic in some yummy Cotton + Steel double gauze. I thought she would like the color, so I okayed it with her and splurged on a yard. She loves the shade of blue, and I was able to squeeze a size 10 with some length out of just a yard. Score!
I realized the girls don't have many pairs of shorts, though if given the chance, they will wear a dress every day. I figured it wasn't bad to have the option, though, and I wanted to try the Butterfly blouse. I am not a huge fan of the thread chain used to close this top and so next time I will do something different. It isn't bad, but I am not very good at them, ha! Plus, the ones on their carousel dresses have broken quite a few times already, it is a pain to have to repair them every few wears.
The shorts are just from the Badminton Skort. I still haven't made the full skort, but the shorts from last year were worn to death and I knew they were a super quick sew. She loves the outfit and wanted to wear it immediately, and to bed, haha.
During KCW I usually try to make at least one thing for each of the kids, so we'll see where that takes me!
I LOVE that roller skate tunic! What a fabulous top! I
ReplyDeleteI had things planned but I don't know if I'll get around to it this week!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure about the Butterfly but I adore your all-in-white version.
ReplyDeleteAb's is looking so grown up.
