Puperita Liberty Blouse (with Liberty Lawn Bias)

Puperita's Liberty Style Blouse is a lovely top for girls size 3-10.
I've had this pattern for a very long time and can't believe I waited so long to sew it.  I used a rayon remnant from Jo-Ann's, so it is perfect for a Texas Summer.

The sleeve is gathered at the cap giving it a pretty flutter.  I did change the sleeves to have a rolled hem instead of a regular hem, mainly because I really like using that function on my BabyLock.

The neckline and armscye are finished with bias tape.  I bought some Liberty Bias tape last year and decided this was the perfect project to try it out.  I love the pretty touch inside the blouse.
The blouse has four tiny pleats in the front and back of the bodice that are a very sweet and simple detail.

The back buttons.  I adored these butterfly buttons when I found them and they actually are one of the main reasons Susie will wear the blouse.

Happy Sewing!

Puperita Lil Critters Dress and Tiny Flowers Blouse

                                        Susie just turned 3 and I finished a lot of UFOs for her birthday.  This was the last set I had to complete and I hope to blog about the others soon.  These are Puperita patterns and both were a joy to sew.  They work perfectly together.  The Tiny Flowers Blouse is shown paired with another overall dress in the pattern, so I can't claim originality for putting the two together.   I have had the Doodle's corduroy for a couple months and when Puperita released the Lil Critters Dress I knew it would be perfect.  For the Tiny Flowers Blouse, I searched Jo-Ann's for apparel fabric that would match the corduroy print and ended up in the quilting cotton section.  I wish there were more specialty cottons availabl...

Sew Straight and Gather Legends Pattern

I was a tester for Sew Straight and Gather's Legends Girls and Ladies  Pattern.  For full disclosure, I received the pattern for free in exchange for testing.  By the way, her super low prices are even lower because, they are in Canadian Dollars.  If you want both you can get the bundle here . This is a super stylish knit top or dress that offers two variations for each option. This is a bit more complicated sew for a knit project, hence the intermediate skill rating, but even then I made three versions of the pattern in a couple of days.  My daughter and I are wearing the Top in View A.  The polka dot dress is Dress View A. When SS&G posted a preview line drawing of her pattern I was really excited by the neckline and profile of the top and really wanted to help with testing.  I was not disappointed the pattern is well drafted and the construction method is amazing.  The V is just enough to...
