I make a lot more than I blog lately, this little top being a case in point.
I made this, and another exactly the same (well apart from the buttons...) way back in November last year - at Sewjourn.
This is the Finch top - one of the collection of patterns from Clever Charlotte that I have accumulated.
A cheesy grin! |
It's fully lined and has this really lovely racer-back shape to it.
Try to imagine it in summer without the necessary layering! |
Perfectly colour coordinated crochet flower hairclip by this clever lady.
The buttons are just for show - for easy on and off. |
To make it quick and easy to get on and off I used velcro under the shoulder tab rather than proper buttonholes - the buttons here are just for show.
I also chose to omit the bow - I might do it on the next one but perhaps a little smaller - it's a bit oversized for me I think.
Definitely check them out - they are really classic kids patterns that are stylish but not too cutesy.

The top looks great. Velcro is such a clever idea.
That is so sweet.
Gorgeous and I agree, that fabric looks perfect! I like the look of their patterns, pity I only have boys...
I love that pattern, and in that fabric. Can't remember what size you said it goes up too, but I reckon my girl might wear that because of the racer back. Hoping to sew tomorrow, if my machine cooperates!
