So it was the perfect excuse to sew something up for the season. After a little break it was time for my sewing machine to see the light of day. So I dusted it off, and pulled out my newest library book. The sizes only go up to a 5 and Julia is more like a 6 or 7, so I made the pattern a little bigger. It was very easy to sew up and the instructions and diagrams were very clear.
It was my first attempt at making a fabric flower. It was not as difficult as I had imagined. Mind you, they could have been done a little neater. But it's all about the learning process, isn't it?
The fabric was originally thrifted, with the flower made from a vintage sheet and pillowcase.

That blouse is nearly as gorgeous as your daughter :) I love the colour on her.
ReplyDeleteWe have rain here this morning and I am in heaven.

Aw, very cute & perfect for the cooler mornings.
ReplyDeleteI too love autumn, my evenings naturally become more tranquil and it is nearly time to bring out the coats, hats, scarves etc. I love the fabric flower and autumn blouse. Also intrigued as to what your animals are doing there in the background.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely top - the colour is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJulia looks like she loves her new top, you've done a beautiful job. It's so rewarding when you make clothes for your children, I think getting in there and giving it a go is the only way to get better and I think you are always learning. My problem is that I avoid things and don't make enough but I've got to stop worrying about making mistakes:) Your place looks lovely too. xo
ReplyDeleteWow, so well done! I'd love to make clothes for mine, In fact my 4 yr old has a top on today that I love and it's always so sad when they grow out of the sweet ones. That book looks like a gem. ~ Alisa
ReplyDeleteIt looks great and the model seems to love it and that is the highest compliment and the most important thing of all.
