Since I had the Aster cardigan pattern sitting on my cutting table just begging to be sewn up-I decided to give in to it.
It did not let me down.
I sewed up a size 5-figured the girls could share it, and it fits little C with room to grow!
I used a mens t shirt that I had grabbed from walmart awhile ago.
(I know! Not the color I expected in the men’s section but I’ll take it)
I had just enough fabric from my XXL tee to use the existing hems and make the sleeves longer, too.
I LOVE it. So feminine and cute.
I made the peter pan collar with the faux piping option, which was a little tricky around the curves (mainly the left side for some reason) but worked out well.
I added some cute bubble-ish buttons on the front, fabric bands to the hem of the sleeves and tada!
I whipped up a quick Skater dress since it needed something new to be worn with.
(am I the only one who does this? lol)
Made a 3/4T with this fabric. Great, fast pattern.
Ah! I seriously love this cardigan. The color, the piping.. just perfect! I want one in adult size 🙂
The cardi is so adorable! I love this outfit! And I am starting to get your youngest confused with each other as Ava is growing so fast! Charlotte is so stinkin’ cute! She looks so pretty in these photos.
She is adorable in her new outfit. The cardigan is fantastic!
Love it! So darling!
That whole ensemble is darling!! It doesn’t get any better than that color for the aster cardigan….BEAUTIFUL!! Now, I need to go to WalMart :)….
The cardi is amazing! So adorable!
That whole outfit… LOVE. I really like the longer sleeves on the cardigan, and the buttons you used are perfect. The dress is darling, but I’m a bit disappointed that you had to make something THAT CUTE with the floral fabric, because I was hoping to snap up some more and it’s allllll gone now. 😉 Has anyone ever told you what great advertising you are, with your lovely sewing and absolutely adorable daughters?! =)
hehe! thanks Charity!!
Just love it and so clever to use an adult t shirt for the fabric
Wow, just wow. The colours are so fresh and pretty, and I’m so in love with the colour and the piping. Very impressed!
adorable!! I just love the pink floral fabric!! I was on your site over the weekend using your raglan tee tutorial ;o) Thanks for that!!!
Gorgeous Jess! Lovely sewing, great fabrics, and Charlotte is just too perfect! I am in awe of how model ready your girls are (yeah I know you say you get dud pics, but even those are cute!)
Love everything you do. I live in Paris, I made a dress with you tutorial. I’ll post it soon. Thank you
