This outfit is sorta from something she picked out of a catalog (Garnet Hill). She wanted some shorts and a top, but I did them in different colors and slightly different styles.
The shorts are linen, so they should breathe nicely this summer. It was just a simple shorts pattern, with a ruffle added along the bottom.
The shirt is a cotton lycra blend knit. I drew out the flower on freezer paper and painted it in.
Then I removed the freezer paper, added some dabs in a little lighter color (that you can hardly tell) in the middle, heat set it with an iron, and then hand sewed the gems on it. She’s like a magpie…she is drawn to shiny things. 😉
After the handsewing was done I constructed it as you would normally.
Cute little outfit!
I got a bunch of sewing done for me last week, but I need to get pictures of everything, yet. I’ll probably get that posted this week at some point.
darling top, great idea with the stencil and design.
Girl you are on a roll. This outfit turned out super cute!!
