naomi is back from her extended stay in boston and brought with her a few yards of wonderful fabric. together with a friend, she was at JP knit&stitch with a friend. lovely choice of fabric and quickly we looked through a few pattern books....
and quickly was the decision made, the modkid banded tank top would be the first thing to sew. so we did, a few changes had to be made, as the pattern is written for 5-10 year olds and was definitely to small for naomi, but this was quick. she also wanted a narrower band at the bottom of the top but a longer top. not too sophisticated for us and within two hours the top had to be tried on.
ups, the girl didn't like the straps, they seemed way to long compare to what she felt they had to be. a quick use of the seem ripper, still too long. so we did a modification of the straps, her idea to make a little "ruffle", so we did it and i have to say, it really adds to the top.
lovely i think and she is happy, there is more fabric, maybe a skirt, even a dress would be possible, a hair band a must...

We love seeing the finished product, so stylish, flattering & comfy-looking too! We are eating breakfast on the back porch, before Alexa goes to a filmmaking camp downtown. Cheers to you all & we look forward to seeing more sewing project photos!
