I know, yes; it really does say handmade by me at the top of this blog and I did not make this lovely, but wait; there is a logical explanation...
I am posting it here mostly to show the fabudabulous Merche, because a short while ago she very generously sent Patrones no. 7 magazine over to me; muchÃsimas gracias Merche! And Cassie's top is the first cab off the rank... The pattern is number 20, a little camisole blouse with a shirred back and a shoestring strap threaded through the top of the bodice to gather it up. It closes with an invisible zip in the side seam. Cassie elected to cross over the straps at the back, but otherwise the blouse is made up just to pattern.
She used a very lightweight cotton from Potters Textiles; thank you to Vanessa for alerting me to the Potters sale last year! This is the first time a Potters Textile has appeared on my blog here. Ack-choolly.... :) this is the very first Patrones magazine I've got my clutches on, and the very first make from it, using the first piece of fabric I bought from Potters Textiles and the first time a Potters fabric has appeared here on the blog...
So this pretty little top represents a veritable avalanche of firsts... woot!
Cassie also made her own skirt, using Butterick 5488 and cotton denim from Fabulous Fabrics.
below left: t' back view, and below right; her invisible zips are looking pretty fantastic imo...
Pretty indeed... a lovely top Cassie!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Cassie! The outfit is fantastic. I really like the fabric she used for her camisole top!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely outfit! What a wonderful gift the teaching of sewing is - I bet Cassie's friends often get envious she can make what she wants!
ReplyDeleteI think Casey made pretty nice ourfit!:)
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is almost as clever as you Carolyn - the top is lovely. Luckily my daughter has inherited my love of sewing too.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Cassie! It's cool you've shared this, I love her top and the fabulous printed fabric she chose as well!
ReplyDeleteGreat top and skirt Cassie, love the colours in the top.
ReplyDeleteShe did a great job. The fit is perfect!
ReplyDeletePlease tell me Cassie is left-handed!!? My daughter is, and seems to struggle with sewing! I thought if Cassie is left-handed as well, there could be hope for Jeanine. Any other left-handers out there got some encouragement for her?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, just beautiful. Like mother like daughter. You must be very proud.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet! Cassie did a great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty on her and so well-made!
ReplyDeleteThat´s a lot of firsts! Please tell Cassie I think she did a great job, and she looks beautiful with her new outfit.
ReplyDeleteLovely print!
Lovely fabric. Fabudabulous - I've learned a new word!
ReplyDeleteGood job! I think it's perfectly acceptable to share Cassie's makes ;) - you're just spreading the love!
ReplyDeleteI think they are both so lovely, and they suit Cassie very well.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Cassie!
It is beautiful top made by a beautiful girl. You have a lot to be proud of. And besides through your loving hands, you taught Cassie how to sew. I'd say that's close to handmade by you. Have a great day.

ReplyDeleteCassie did a great job. How lovely that she's following in your footsteps.
ReplyDeleteWonderful outfit! I love the top and skirt Cassie made.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. The cross over straps are a good idea.
ReplyDeleteThe colours and style are perfect on Cassie.
Talent definitely runs in your family :))
Great job Cassie!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Cassie. I wish my daughters would show a flicker of interest in sewing.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive invisible zipper - it's a great little top.
ReplyDeleteLovely top and so perfectly put together! I just have to say how much I enjoy seeing these photos of your beautiful daughter--so refreshing to see a young lady not all made-up exuding gentle confidence.
