This little top started out as Style "m" in girly style wardrobe. It was supposed to be a dress, but during a lapse in concentration, I cut it off at the wrong line. I reduced the fullness and used pin-tucks instead of gathers. I was taking in the armholes across the front chest, as I think many children's patterns are too wide there, and in another concentration lapse, kept cutting at the bottom of the armholes...so now they are cut a tad low ("I think I'll just wear this one at home Mum, I don't want people to see my underarms"..."Yeah? What about all those singlet tops you get about in?"). I swapped the patch pocket for one of my own design, and now that I'm looking at the photos, I realise that I've sewn it on the wrong side. In spite of all that kerfuffle, it is still a pretty cute little top.
The yellow seersucker fabric is from Tessuti's Surry Hills store. It is a medium weight seersucker, which would probably look good in those Burda WOF seersucker jackets that crop up at regular intervals! The yoke fabric is an Amy Butler fat quarter.

Gorgeous...I love your patch pocket detail.

i have "girly style wardrobe" but i've yet to work up the courage to trace out a pattern. was it super confusing to figure out which pattern pieces went to which outfit?
that old Lil Ray of Sunshine song keeps coming into my head. she's so cute.
Cute shirt, and your daughter looks adorable in it!
I do love your pocket design - it's super cute - glad you found plenty of opportunities to practise your philosophy of "no mistakes, only opportunities for design features." The little pin tucks are especially cute.
Totally cute. The smile on that litte girl's face is precious.
It looks really cute on her. INdeed a little ray of sunshine in her yellow top. Adorable!
