And yes, I know that the bottom button should be a little higher. It bugs me, but not as much as it would bug me to take apart this shirt. I made it from some of the fabric I got from this estate sale.
The pieces I had were hard to work with, hence this design!
It has a fun bib/scoop/thingy on the front, which is gathered below that, and buttons up the front. Also has some slightly poofy gathered sleeves.
I adore this fabric, and this top is slightly big on Sadie, so yay for her wearing it longer!
Sooo....I'm officially announcing this month's sew-along! It's this shirt. big surprise!
Supply list below!
You'll need:
fabric (amount depends on the size of your child. I probably used less than a yard total for a 3T size.)
coordinating fabric for bib-a fat quarter would be enough for most sizes
thread
buttons
1/8" elastic
Edit: I'll show you how to make the pattern you'll need. Don't worry, it's an easy one!
The sew-along will start and run Sept 19-22!
(Edit: this will be a three day sew-along, so it will only run Sept 19-21!)
Are you in?

Ugh, now I not only wish that the rest of my house was unpacked enough that I felt safe unpacking my sewing machine, but I'm missing fall weather as well!! You're such a tease, Jess. And a motivator. Now if only you could convince this locale to reach temperatures below 80 at any point in the year....

I am so in. I have been looking for a shirt pattern like this for the autumn. So excited!
I so would be, if I had children!
Sadly the niece is growing so fast that she'd outgrow it by the time I was halfway done XD yay growth spurts :s
<3
AArgh! I'm about to move house, so I think I'll have to skip this sew-along (for hubby's sake, if not my own). I missed the Junebug dress too, this is another great item to add to the "Go back and do" list! It looks darling on Sadie.
Yes I am definately in!!!!
So So Cute! If I had more time, I would definitely be in! Love it!
I'm in. I was just looking for the motivation to use up some of my stash and make my daugther some more clothes for school. This is the perfect fall shirt. I cannot wait until Monday, I'm already thinking of which fabric to use.
Let's go girls!
I'm in... just 5 days to go and I STILL need some supplies.

I'm in - never participated in a sew along...might have to make it longer for my little girl who will only wear dresses of skirts - but this will be so cute as a dress with some leggings.
K...I'm in but I'm really just a sewing-want-to-be but come from a long line of seamstresses.....I'm ready and hopefully I can keep up with you girls!
so Adorable! I had to tumblr it :D http://42things.tumblr.com/
I'm in! I'm in! I've never done a sew-along before, but I'm going to give it a try! What kind of fabric do you recommend??
I would love to, but I have never sewn clothing without a pattern!
This is so sweet, Jess. The little red buttons are adorable.
I am in! I have the perfect fabric in mind for the shirt. Now to find the coordinating bib fabric & buttons. I can't wait. I was just searching for fall clothing tutorials. Can't wait
I think I'm in....time depending, but would love to give it a try. I have a month old baby girl, Maela, so time is sometimes at a premium! Thank you for offering your sew alongs...I love all your stuff! :)
This shirt is lovely...i would love to give it a go. A silly question, sorry - are you going to release the pattern on Monday or have I misunderstood?
I'm in. Jess, I love how you motivate us to sew. Thanks!
ooh, my first sew along. This top is seriously too cute, hopefully my 4 year old will agree to wear it. She is on strike from wearing handmade clothes this week...this should win her over though!
