Daniella Skirt!

My next challenge after the Arabella was making a skirt for Little Miss Madelynn. The Arabella comes in girl's sizes, but I wanted something a little fuller for this adorable ballerina print. Rebecca Page to the rescue again! This time I used the Daniella pattern (previously called the Easy Peasy Skirt).

The previous name was very fitting. It truly was easy peasy. A basic gathered skirt pattern. Fairly quick, and great for beginners.

I made her the size 2 even though she measured in the 9 month waist size, but was at the top height for size 2. It is a bit big on her (thank goodness for cloth diapers to hold it up!), but I am still holding out hope that she may eventually hit a growth spurt. I opted to finish hers with a contrasting black rolled hem. So much love for the rolled hem!

Seriously, can she BE any more adorable?! (Friends anyone??)

One more picture for good measure (aka cuteness factor)! 

Everyday Tee

Ellie and Mac just released the Everyday Tee pattern. I made two of them during testing, and it quickly became a pattern that I will grab over and over again. 

It is a dolman sleeved, loose fitting, tee with a high/low curved hem. What's not to like?! 

The back is two pieces making a vertical seam straight down the middle. It is a lovely added touch, but I will admit, I was not too sure why it was necessary before I tried it on. It adds a slimming effect by drawing the eye down. Can't be upset with anything slimming, right? 

I am really wishing that I had gotten a picture of the back of one of my shirts for you to see, but when I am the one in front of the camera I forget all the angles I should get.

I just ordered fabric to make another one of these Everyday Tees to add heat transfer vinyl to so I have a new Husker's shirt for the football game that Bobby and I are going to in November.

I picked this top for my upcoming football shirt since it is perfect for layering with a long sleeve top under, and/or a cardigan over top. Definitely a 3 season top here in Nebraska!

I promise I will share pictures when I have that top finished!!

Grab your copy of this pattern from Ellie and Mac ASAP!
