Here's how to finish up Emma's jacket.
Iron up the sleeve ends and sew
Add buttons and button holes.
In all honesty I haven't done the buttons or button holes yet.
I like to save up a bunch of them to do all at once.
There, almost done. I'm not sure which side I like best. What do you think?
I'm hoping that when I get more garments done that someone agrees to
a photo shoot to show them all off..
I also started and finished another Emma project:
A sun top with a square hankie skirt.
As usual I started with a girls block and went from there.
The front and back were joined at the shoulders and the back has a deep v.
I always make little dress bodices double and turn them so there's no need for facings. I find it so much tidier and besides it all stays in place in the laundry so I can choose to iron or not. (mostly not!)
Note: The dark round things are pebbles and rocks that I always seam to be carting home in my pockets.
I wash them and keep and stashed them all over the house. The flattish ones make great pattern weights.
Maybe someday I'll devote a whole post to my rock habit.
The skirt is square with a circle in the middle for the waist that
is drafted to the bodice waist measurement with the seam allowance added.
I added a sewn in sash that ties at the back with a nice big bow.
Oh my! It is cute. I love designing girls clothes. Hmm .. little woven capris or leggings I wonder.
It makes me so happy.
What do you make that gives you joyful giggles?
Happy Spring,
The sun is at last giving kisses promising green growth soon.
