One of the things on my to do list is making a few things for P to wear to preschool this fall. The first up will be a peasant style top for her. I'll use a pattern in Girls Style Book (ISBN 4579111817). I also have been wanting to make the ubiquitous Simplicity 3835 for myself.
My plan is to make them out of linen. I was waiting to get some alone time in the sewing room to work on these so have only gotten the preliminary steps done. Yesterday, I traced the pattern for Ps top (a shorter version of the one in the picture) and decided that a little embroidery would look good on the linen fabric. I drew a woodland fairy inspired by some drawings in one of my old books. P saw me drawing and declared that she wanted to draw a fairy too.
She said I could sew her design onto my shirt! Just think what I would have missed if I had been working alone. I can't wait to get them made!!
