I’m really crushing on this shirt I made for my daughter.  Originally I was pulling these fabrics together to make a shirt for myself.  But I just couldn’t get my pieces cut out of the scraps I was working with.  So I pulled out the pattern for the BSD Maggie Top I used for the Layered Ruffle Tee at the beginning of the year and set to work! I had just enough of this plaid pink jersey to color block the top of the shirt.  Mostly.  I ended up having to widen the neckline to fit my pattern piece...

Halloween Costumes 2018

Phew!  Another Halloween in the books!  We ended up with a black cat (hence the tutorial for a simple cat tail), a Paladin of Voltron (Lance to be specific), Rayla from Dragon Prince (see more details on that costume here), and a Ranger from the book series Ranger’s Apprentice.  Halloween 2018 ended up with very happy children which makes for a happy mom!

After sewing my daughter’s layered ruffle tee from the Maggie Top, I just could not get over how cute and grown up she looked.  And she loves her outfit!  I love sewing for her when she loves the outcome.  I saw the last bit of the floral jersey I used here and knew it would make the perfect peplum to match her lavender pants!  So I took the same pattern as before and made a Maggie Peplum Top!  Now I’ve got a little capsule wardrobe going for her.  She might actually go to school in clothes that go together! Making...
