aster cardigan and a skater dress

aster cardigan and a skater dress \\ craftiness is not optional

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.

    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 :)….

  7. 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. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Has anyone ever told you what great advertising you are, with your lovely sewing and absolutely adorable daughters?! =)
