Crop Shirt
Since the practice crop shirt I made yesterday turned out so quick and easy. I though I would make one for real. We bought 3/4 of a yard of this fabric and a taffy pink zipper.
I'm a little old school when it comes to zippers-they should be hidden and match the fabric. I've seen a lot of exposed zippers on Project Runway and the original tutorial by Suburbs Mama had one, so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did-I really love it! (it's actually cuter in person when you can really see all the texture of the zipper) Hidden zippers are all about function, while exposed zippers add a fun embellishment.
She wanted it a little more fitted so she could wear it over a long-sleeve shirt. I think she's adorable!
She mentioned several times this morning how cute she felt. I think any day you can send a kid to middle school "feeling cute" is a good day :)
Last year, I made us a bunch of maxi-skirts, but I think this is going to be the year of the cropped shirt. They are so easy and w/ a little tweaking, you can get an entire new look form the same basic idea.

A asked me today how come I don't make her any cute clothes. I told her that she should make them! Does R know how to sew and make clothes?
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to teach her. We made some PJ's together once w/ a friend. She loves designing the clothes and is always up for a trip to the fabric store, but hasn't really taken any interest in the sewing part. She loves making accessories. Maybe we'll work on sewing more this summer.
DeleteSeriously, super cute!

ReplyDeleteHello, I just joined the linky party. I'm a little late because my blog has been acting up. This is my first, so I hope I am doing everything right. I am posting links on the page I submitted.
ReplyDeleteCute top. Wish I liked to sew. I see a lot of cute things. But I just never could get into it, so I can only do the easy basic thing. Never have put a zipper in.
Please stop by for a visit.
Have a great day.
