Seasonal fruit

I've been wanting for ages to make these little cross-backed tops for the girls for summer and after giving it a go am really happy with how easy they are to do, and plan to make them a staple item for this summer.



This one is too small for my two chicks but I'm going to give it to a friend with a little one a few months younger, and make a couple of adjustments for the next ones. Like move the buttons a little so the ends of the straps don't stick up quite so much, and of course make them a little bigger.

I love this fabric, it's very fresh and summery and I teamed it with spots, which always take my fancy.
I'm planning to make a few more with some of the gorgeous fabric I got from here a while ago.

The orange birds will be the outer for Miss A with the orange dots on the inside, teamed with pants in the blue.


While the girls in the city fabric will be the outer for Miss L, with the pink/red pattern inside and the red dots for pants.

Can't wait to get started....
