I created
a coordinated outfit out of soft bamboo and cotton knit for my
be-you-ti-ful granddaughter.
It's so soft and fluid that I know she will
enjoy wearing it.
The first shirt that I made for her has long sleeves
that feature soft, floaty, romantic, and comfortable half bishop sleeves.
Notice how the fabric is gathered to the top of the sleeve and billows out, then is gathered again at the cuff.
This pattern is from a collection of patterns featured on Project Run and Play
called the
Project Lounge Library Capsule.
This particular pattern is the "Story."
The second shirt was drafted from the Story pattern also. I changed the sleeves into a short cap sleeve.
Isn't it amazing how different a pattern can look when you just change
the style of sleeves. Another change I made was to decrease the width of the
neck binding to 1 3/4 inch. The design of the fabric provided the opportunity
to use a vinyl iron-on decal to add a bit of personality to the garment.
Lastly, I made some comfortable jogger pants with a paper-bag
elastic waistline. The added waistline tie added even more to the design.
Of course, this outfit was
"made with love."
