One item on the 'to do' list - done!It's the 'Maya' blouse - Ottobre 1/2008 - design 4.
Made in red babushka fabric from Retro Mummy with red gingham trim from the stash and self-covered buttons.
As usual, on completing a garment I doubt my choices.
Right now I am wondering if the buttons are a little too large for this design, but I wanted to have a little doll on each button, so am prepared to live with my decision.
Now onto the pants... stay tuned.
That is gorgeous - love your fabric choices. I am just about to attempt a similar style top from Ottobre - well when I can work out where I should be adding 1cm to the pattern and where I shouldnt - any tips?
ReplyDeleteOh wow, how gorgeous did that turn out!?! I can't wait to see the complete outfit.
ReplyDeleteI wish that all the back issues of that mag weren't sold out, so many cute patterns in it.
I love it can't wait for it to be modelled
ReplyDeleteI love it. Very sweet indeed. Especially the buttons.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous little top! I hope you hung onto the scraps, because I think you need to make more of those cute buttons!
ReplyDeleteThe buttons are a good size. The top turned out great. Your sewing mad...on a blitz.
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful - the buttons look like a perfect size - your DD's party is going to be great!
ReplyDeleteI love the top, the fabric is just gorgeous and I think the buttons are just adorable, not too big at all! I must make my miss some more of these, the one I have here came together nice and easy.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous top. I think the buttons look lovely. I can't wait to see the finished outfit.
ReplyDeleteLove that material and the little top you made. As for the size of the buttons, I think they're perfect. I don't think the idea that the buttons are too large (or too small) for the design is the right way of thinking. It's simply,if you like it and it looks good to you it's the right choice.
ReplyDeleteLove the top. I've been meaning to make this top. I think the buttons need to be that size so you can get a doll on each one. It would be a shame to have them cut off.
ReplyDeleteLove the top and the party theme...buttons are perfect and now you need to make some yo yos and put a button in the centre and turn them into hair thingys. Lisa.
ReplyDeleteI love it and what great fabric !
ReplyDeleteThat top is just gorgeous and I think the buttons look perfect too. I'm such a sucker for anything babushka!
