KCWC: puppet show shorts and liberty top

So…starting to wind down from the high of KCWC-I personally challenge myself to make as many pieces as possible…and I think I averaged 3 pieces per day. I don’t recommend this. I am wiped out! But hey, Sadie’s spring/summer wardrobe is looking pretty good! So there’s that. :}


This outfit is one of my faves! Let’s talk about the top first, cause that print is fabu-freaking-tastic. Amiright? (I’m just makin’ up words left and right today, peeps!) It’s been on my wish list for a loong time, but I finally added it to my cart after seeing Jessica’s top using fabric from the same collection, Bloomsbury by Liberty Lifestyle. It’s fantastic because you get the look of Liberty, but at about half the price…and the hand is still very lusciously splendid. I used my Olivia top tutorial-need to get this made into a pattern, it’s so easy and fun. I wanted to keep the top simple since the fabric was pretty loud.

The shorts were made with a teal linen blend from Joanns-on sale so these only cost $5 in materials to make! Not including the pattern. Which is the Puppet Show short pattern from Oliver and S, available in a digital pattern…instant gratification! Again, fantastic pattern, I definitely recommend it. I have more linen coming to make more of these shorts! Although I think I will gather them more next time on the hem for my skinny legged gal.

Her eyes are a little glassy after a mid-shoot meltdown. Yeah, I think I’ll give her a break from photo shoots for awhile now…poor thing. She loves them but runs out of patience fast so she gets frustrated. She informed me I had two shots and that was it. Ha, ha.

    Hey there. I followed you here from Pinterest. It was a pin about how-to arm holes. I can’t seem to find that blog. Would you mind bumping it, or posting the link to it?

    I have the WORST time with armholes in my pattern-making!

    Thanks,
    Jessica
