This is my second August flip for flip this pattern over at Frances Suzanne . The pattern is from StraightGrain called The Tinny .
Check out my other flip here .
This time I made her a whole outfit which will work perfect for Sundays when we get dressed at least twice into more comfortable clothes after church. The one shirt is made with knit fabric ( the anchor knit is from Girl Charlee where you can go for all your knit fabric needs and more at a very reasonable price.) and the other shirt is more like a formal jacket. The skirt is a 3 layer skirt.
for the formal look I made her a little beret. The collar is the asymmetrical collar from the pattern. For the opening I moved it to the front and slightly to left and added buttons. The flair at the bottom was cut from the skirt part of the pattern and just added it to the bottom of the jacket.
The skirt was real easy to cut. I cut the bottom layer on the size 3 line, middle layer on size 2 and the top layer on size 1 which made it easy for me and it came out nice and even.
The rose headband I made for her to go with the knit top and it is perfect for keeping her hair out of her forehead.
not a happy face because I asked her if she could stand still which there is no such thing as standing still for Miss Bella. Gotta love the personality and attitude onthis little girl.
for the knit top I use a white knit fabric for the collar. For this shirt I used the Peter pan collar. I used the bodice part of the Tinny pattern and extended the bottom and added some shirring. I opened up the armholes and added some of the flower fabric to the white knit rib. The back has a little slip with a blue button so she can get it over her noggin.
today was a lot better picture performing day as yesterday when she wore the knit shirt :)
Look at her twirling.
