Trying to ease my way back into the sewing room. Made this sweet shirt for Carolin which she loves. I do too!
Pattern is the Family Reunion Dress/Shirt pattern by Oliver & S. Great pattern and great fit. I made a size 6. Carolin is quite tall and thin so I worried it would be too wide, but it is fine. It's an easy pattern to follow and makes a classy little shirt. Does anyone use the term 'blouse' anymore? Because that is what my mom would call it.
The photos are terrible quality - quickly snapped at the bus stop this morning. You can see a bit of the detail in the shot below. The fabric is a thrifted vintage print. I've had it on my shelf for years and about a month ago my friend pulled it off the shelf remarking at how much she loved it. I contemplated giving it to her but I decided to use it myself! There is still a piece left though so you are welcome to it, Jen! :-)
The buttons are from ButtonMad. I won them quite some time ago. Handmade in South Africa and absolutely gorgeous. They are Carolin's favourite part of the shirt.
All in all a rewarding sew to get back into the groove. September is always a busier month (for many moms I think) but I am doing a bit of sewing every day, just for fun!
very pretty. love the little details.

So sweet, Alisa!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, looks great on her.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric, and the buttons! And, I would call it a blouse too, but like you said, it seems that term is completely out-dated now.
ReplyDeleteahahah, Alisa! I'm glad you didn't give it to me, can't believe you contemplated...ahh! I just really honestly liked it and am glad you made something so cute out of it:) I'll try to hold back my adoration of certain fabric prints when I'm at your house, hahaa;)
