Day Two Has Arrived! Today will be putting together the top , sleeves and pockets!
I'm not going to super explain each steps since duh you've got the pattern too! I'll let my sweet vinyl tablecloth and pictures do the talking:
shoulders!
Sleeves! I need to work on my cutting skills. Even curved cut edges would make pinning/sewing easier I think!
Sleeves attached! Aaaaaaaaaand I forgot to topstitch. Dang
I did something wonky here and I think it was that I cut the blue shoulder fabric too long. This is the piece that goes under the arm. I ended up trimming it a bit and them seaming it nicer when I added the bodice parts. But for now it looked lame:
I wasn't too sure about pockets since my kid picks up everything and puts it in her pockets, rocks, bugs, food, etc. She just liked to collect which can be gross when doing laundry haha. But she loves exploring, so I like to encourage that! For the pockets, they're a little ruched, so you have to stretch them out. I found pinning both edges then stretching out with my one hand and putting one more clip in the middle was the easiest way.
They turned out really cute, they puff out a bit.
I really like this pocket style a lot. I think I want to add it to other shirts for Camille. I love pockets on everything so I'll start her early on her pocket obsession.
Tomorrow is a bit of a more explaining day because I have to figure out how to narrow out the top to match the skirt. I will be expanding the skirt pattern a bit end narrowing the back panel to compensate. Stay tuned!
