Abby is headed to 6th grade in a few days, that seems so crazy to me! I figured it was about time to fulfill some of her requests (the paint splatter blouse) and finish up a few UFOs.
I used the Class Picnic Blouse in a size 12. She is a little above the size 12 for her chest, but this one is nice and roomy so I didn't hesitate when she requested this pattern. I added 2 1/2" to the bottom of the blouse, and kept the original hem depth.
I added a piece of dainty lace in the front yoke of this oh so soft Robert Kaufman floral lawn.
I picked up this Art Gallery from my LQS at least a year ago, maybe more. She has been asking for something made from it as soon as I brought it home. I hesitated to make her something from it, because she wasn't a fan of handmade there for a while, and especially not anything made in woven.
The last couple of months she has decided having mom-made clothes is actually pretty cool, because then she doesn't show up to school in the same top as anyone else. So I decided it was time to make her request.
I really love these two on her, and I am really sad these will be the last two she gets now that she has sized out of the pattern.
Ah, bittersweet! Sad to see our kids size out of our favorite patterns, to be sure, but sweet to see her growing up into such a lovely young woman! This top looks refreshingly modern and stylish on her with those cut-offs.
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern. Freya hasn't worn the one I made her last year very much. I wonder if it still fits her?!
