peplum tops in navy and white

bicycle peplum top-craftiness is not optional

I had a marathon sewing session earlier in the week-I cut out a ton of tops and then sat down and sweat shopped my way through the stack! Mostly for Charlotte, to her delight.

First up: this ADORABLE want-to-steal-it-for-myself bicycle print peplum top.

Fabric is from the Imagine Gnats shop, and it’s a fantastic knit. (I have a ton more fabric I can’t wait to use that I got there!)

White fabric can (obvs) be see through but this knit was pretty much opaque and a very nice weight.

The pattern is the top version of the Pretty in Peplum pattern by Sew Much Ado. I think I sewed up a 4T and it fit perfectly.

I did shorten the bodice a bit since Charlotte inherited my short torso. (sorry, girl)

I made Charlotte a dress too which I’ll show you another time, but I might like the top version even more!

Case in point, I made Ava a long sleeved top with the same pattern!

Dude is there anything cuter than a wee little gal decked out in a peplum top?!
They seem to think they are dresses though- MOM BUT IT HAS A SKIRT ALREADY!

erm, noooo…

I used Girl Charlee fabric and it’s a bit thin (not as opaque as the bicycles).

It worked out ok, but I mainly chose it for the print, I probably wouldn’t use this weight of fabric for this pattern again.

You can kinda see the facing.

So emburrsing.

haha jk. I’ll be back with more tops and a dress soon!

  11. These are so cute! And my daughter is the same, she calls them “Skirt Shirts”, and will still wear froofy skirts with them.

  12. Those girls are too cute! I love Girl Charlee’s prints, but I do end up having to line or underline things rather often. Maybe it’s because I have a penchant for white backgrounds. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Love the way these peplums turned out!
