Sailboat Blouse DIY
I'm working on a sailboat dress for E (A-line, asymmetrical w/ ruffle), but she's been less than cooperative on getting fitted so this might be postponed for a while. Kids can be so funny!
SPG, this is my favorite thing you've ever made. it looks amazing on you, I may have to borrow it when I come back home to the Bay. And by borrow I mean coerce you into making me one :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, thank you for the incredibly kind words!
DeleteWhat a cute shirt!!! I can't imagine how hard it'd be to get a small child to stand still for ANYTHING let alone fittings. Good luck!!! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa! It was so much easier when she was younger and not care what she was wearing. Now she's very particular - especially on clothing. It's so funny sometimes!
DeleteSo darling! First time reader, love your blog! What fantastic sewing skills! I love where you find inspiration as well! Where do you find your fabrics from other than Joann's?
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading and your kind words! The bulk of my fabrics come from Joann's, Hancock Fabrics, Fabric.com and a local store in South Bay called Fabrics R Us. Hope that helps!
