Stripe Play
Some fun with stripes on this top for Willow. Made from the cotton/lycra knit fabrics seen below (from The Fabric Fairy), using an Ottobre Design pattern that I modified with abandon!
SEWING NOTES: Pro-Tricot Fusible Interfacing from
Fashion Sewing Supply used to stabilize the front cross-over band. Ottobre Design pattern from issue 01/05 used as a "block" and changed to make this design.

How cute these last projects all are. The fabric combinations are super.
Fantastically cute shirt! I love the colors- fun, but not too young. Funny, I just traced that Ottobre pattern off for my dd. Is the sleeve you made two separate sleeves or is the long sleeve attached to the hem of the short sleeve? I love that look and totally want to copy it ;) I've really enjoyed the pics of your most recent projects- great kid's fashions! thanks for sharing :)
Loral....Thanks for the nice comment! Since this is a fall/winter top, the sleeve is double (hemmed short sleeve place on top of striped long sleeve, and set-in as one). The hem is layered...a folded strip of fabric tucked under the hemmed shirt and topstitched to attach.
This is one of my most favorite items you have made. The colors and style are fab-U-lous!!
Another winner, I love this!
So cute, Pam! Thanks for all the how-to details. You always come up with an elegant solution to unusual constructions.
Oh I love that top! Your sewing is always so inspirational!
Which issue of Ottobre does the original pattern come from?
The issue is listed in the "Sewing Notes" at the bottom of the post....Ottobre Design, Issue 01/05.
...But always feel free to ask questions..happy to answer them!
