Isn't the cutest. I love it.
Madison is in desperate need of a few shirts for Summer outings. I found this pattern online for the shirt that easily could be made into a dress. I was very tempted to make the dress, but my girls have more then enough dresses for the summer.
I bought this fabric ages ago. (about 6 years ago) and had extra that I kept from another project. I had all the materials on hand for this shirt. The buttons, white fabric for the lining, interfacing, and then of course, the extra fabric. It may have been cuter to maybe use some darker buttons, but hey, I didn't have to spend money and more importantly I didn't have to make a run to Joanns! Seriously, probably the worst errand to take little children on.
I haven't sewn flutter sleeves before, but I LOVE them and they are actually way easier to sew then normal sleeves! Win win! The tutorial was fairly easy to follow and the shirt looks very finished! I used a French seam on the back of the shirt that contains the only raw edge. All other raw edges are lined. I have never done buttons before, believe it or not, and I was a tad nervous. I actually really like the buttons, and it is super easy. I just don't know any of the measuring tricks to make sure it is all evenly spaced. There has to be a few tips and tricks right? I measured pretty meticulously a couple of times and one button is still slightly off. :)
What a cute shirt for a cute girl. I did bribe her with a small treat for these pictures..... this girl.
