The Tinny by Straight Grain. It is quite fabulous and Isabella loves the twirly version.
The pattern as is has so many options with different collars , skirts and sleeves so I couldn't change too much. I wanted it to still be a true Trinny just because of its FABULOUS'ness.
I added flower petals to the sleeves and skirt. I ironed them on with ez steam and then hand embroidered around with a chain stitch.
The front I changed with adding pintucks and buttons ( beautiful flower wooden buttons I found at JoAnn's) so it opens in the front instead of the back. I added 2 layers of net in between the denim and mustard color fabric which is 4 layers in total on the skirt part.
I extended the sleeve and gathered it a little before adding a cuff.
She has a huge Band-Aid on her head disguising the8 stitches on her head. I quiet library trip turned into a not so quiet trip when she fell and sliced her forehead open on the side of a bookshelf.
Being at the library we had to take the ambulance which she loved. 4 hours later and she was all stitched up. She loved all the attention way too much and unfortunately didn't turn out to be a learning experience on when your mom tells you to slow down you should listen :) .
I made a huge Flower hair pin with vinyl to keep the hair out of the forehead.
I absolutely love this pattern and hope to flip another one for the month of August.
No promises though........
Looks great! Love the pin tucks! Poor little one having stitches. I bet it was worse for mummy too :(

ReplyDeleteThank you An, It is such a Great Pattern. I will be making many more.
DeleteHi Carin - that is an amazing piece of sewing! The pintucks are so beautifully done. I've just flipped a Tinny and had lots of fun doing it. And I also love to do applique, hand-stitched with chainstitch too! See my 'secret squirrel' outfit, and the 'Cloth of Kings dress' over at my blog as-it-seams.blogspot.co.uk. But I've never done this much hand-applique - so much effort! It's incredible.
