Leah Shirt take 2


Another one of these shirts to show you. 
See? I told you I was going to make 27 of them...
I just love them!


I made my own biased tape for this one as well.
My only fix, and note to self:
It's almost too tight across the chest/ under the arms.


I think I would give a little more space 
for the sleeves and the bodice.
This little gal needs some space to 
WIGGLE! 
Other than that, we survived.

Toddler Shirt


This. is. adorable. 

My mom got me this big chunk of fabric while she was in town last so I cold make a bunch of summer outfits for my little G. I love the orange, it's so bright and happy and, well, summery. I found this tutorial for the "Leah Shirt" and absolutely fell in love with it. Starting off with my pieces all cut out, I followed Jess's directions and just guessed at the sizing. I sort of traced one of miss G's shirts that fits her right now and crossed my fingers that my pieces would end up the right size.  It worked pretty well.


I made my own biased tape that was smaller than regular biased tape, I didn't want the edging to be the focus of this shirt. Regular biased tape seemed to be a little too overwhelming for how small the shirt is.

And, of course, the yo-yo embellishment


I think I'll end up making about 27 of these shirts before I get tired of them... 
They are so easy and so so so sweet.
