I've had this pattern for a while and finally stitched one up for Roo as part of her spring wardrobe update!!! Spring Tops!!!
 |
| Here, I used a light weight seersucker from either JoAnn's or Hancock (back in the day!!) and the collarless version of D (ever so slightly shorter due to limited yardage). |
 |
| It sewed up beautifully!!! The tucks (pleats?) are interestingly made and super easy! My only change was to make the neckline a little lower in the front. (Left per the pattern indications it would have been high, y'all!) |
 |
| Rosie's went together so easily and was so cute I made myself one!!! |
 |
| This one is a sleeveless view A, again with the lowered neckline. I am proud of the pattern placement! A challenge only because of limited yardage, but still. I love how this one looks, but because it is made of quilting cotton (purchased before I knew the difference) it does require ironing, which is a bit of a pain. |
 |
| On the flip side, making my own binding from the fabric was easy peasy since it took to the iron very well! Previously, this was something I thought I'd never do. But I rather liked making it and using it has been a treat!! |
 |
| The third is the charm!! This one is full length view D (without collar and with the slight neckline modification) in a seersucker that was a little heavier than the one for Roo. Gotta say, seersucker works very well for this pattern as it holds the drape without being stiff and no ironing is required! |
 |
| I added a little button with loop to the top of this one. |
 |
| And while it needs to get a little warmer to enjoy wearing it at home, it was super fun to wear during our little "spring break"! Travel Chaotically! - The Gulf Coast - Spring Break and Me Mades, Baby!!! |
