Spring KCW 2013: E & E's Ruffle Tunic

I can't tell you how much I love this top.  The pattern is designed by Elegance and Elephants.  Heidi is one of those talented designers that I've been following for a while and when she released her first pattern, The Ruffle Top, I jumped at the chance to buy it, and at a nice discount too.


The fabric is a beautiful voile by Anna Maria Horner that I've been saving forever.  I'm so glad I finally had a chance to use it.

The finishing on this little top is pristine.   The stitch in the ditch method of attaching the bias around the neck and armhole gives it a beautiful and clean finish without being too fussy.  Perfect!

The back is equally lovely.

 

Now I want one in my size!

Day 5: Oliver & S Ice Cream Shirt

Day 3 and 4 of the Kid's Clothes Week Challenge was a bust. Baby B. turned into a teething monster who woke up every 2 to 3 hours at night and was a drooling clingy mess during the day. Needless to say I did not get much done. Thankfully she is back to her normal happy self and even slept for 6 hours straight last night.

I've had this Anna Maria Horner Little Folk Voile in my stash for quite a while. I think the flowy style of the Oliver & S Ice Cream Blouse really shows off the fabric nicely.

This is a size 3T and fits S. perfectly. I'm hoping it will last her through the summer at least.
