This outfit, made for my niece Willow was such fun to sew! The striking striped tunic is a marvelous Farbenmix pattern, "Vijona", made from a cotton/lycra knit. The skirt is a lightweight denim, and I used a pattern from Ottobre Design issue 04/08, #37. An evening of sewing resulted in a fun new outfit!
SEWING NOTES: Soft and flexible Pro-Tricot Fusible Interfacing used to stabilize the shoulder seams of the tunic. Pro-Weft Fusible used to interface the skirt waistband. Both products from Fashion Sewing Supply.
love it! great use of a striped fabric. it has a wonderful retro feel.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky diva! I love the play of the stripes.
ReplyDeleteToo CUTE! Can't wait til I get a grand DAUGHTER to sew for. So far all I have stitched for 3.5 year old grandson is Halloween costumes and a few vests - worn once each only. Nothig is more fun than little girls! Such a sense of accomplishment you must feel - and I, too love the play of the stripes!
