cap sleeve shirt
May 26th, 2009
After my small success with the japanese bag pattern, I thought I’d tackle a more difficult japanese pattern. This pattern is from the summer 2008 edition of Cotton Friend (I got it on etsy here). There was a picture for every step, which made it feel a little like cheating (even though I had to read the steps top to bottom and right to left which was totally disorienting). Why can’t all patterns be made for visual learners like me? The armscyes were a little tricky and I have about 5 messed up necklines cut out, but I figured it out and it fits! There is a matching pattern for mama in the magazine, but this mama is pretty pregnant so I think matching my kid would look extra silly now, but maybe next summer…
A friend of mine started a blog a while back called darts and tarts, documenting her (and her friend’s) mad clothes making skills–like this awesomeness–so go check them out.
Hi
Great shirt! Can you tell me what that lovely fabric is???
Thanks

What a sweet top!
That’s so cute!
That is so cute! I love the fabrics you have chosen. And the little ribbon is the perfect final touch!
thats lovely! and i also want to mention how much i adore your horse coat hook – wonderful!
What a sweet top, and what a great hook to hang it from! I am a visual learner too, and patterns with written instructions give me a headache.
Great job!
Very sweet little top. I struggle with most patterns…
it’s lovely, beautiful fabric
