Top Number Two

I was so pleased with how my first top turned out that I thought I'd make another ruffly top for myself.  I used a different pattern for this top.  I planned on using this fabric on the first top I made, but I didn't read the pattern and it was intended for knits only.  That will teach me not to read the recommended fabrics for the pattern.  Luckily, I did find another ruffly top pattern that I could use this cotton fabric. I plan on making a few more before the summer is over.

Shirt Dress

This project came about because my daughter literally has Hello Kitty radar.  The child can see it from a mile away in a store.  We were shopping for a new Hello Kitty shirt in the toddler section, but she already had that shirt and they didn't have any others.  Her radar kicked in and she looked over at the girls section and saw two other Hello Kitty shirts.  Her Mimi and I explained that they were too big for her and they would end up being a dress on her.  She didn't seem to mind that at all.  We thought about it and decided all it needed was a little ruffle and it would be a cute dress. It took no time at all to add a little ruffle to the bottom.  What was once a shirt that was way too big became a darling dress.
