My growing like a weed daughter picked out some fabric the other day and I have been trying to find the “right” pattern for it.
Today I sewed up Kwik Sew 3169 in a test fabric. It is a peasant top pattern with the option for short or long sleeves.
Like the pattern, the test fabric has been marinating in my stash for some time. It is from the Charms line by Patty Reed Design, produced by Fabric Traditions. As an indication of how long I have been holding onto it, the copyright on it says 2006 and I am fairly certain I made Zoe a sundress from it years ago. When I pulled it out for this top, I expected to be vetoed. (It wasn’t!) Now that she’s ten, most of the cute fabrics get an eye roll.
Zoe is tall and needs extra length on most tops. I added 2″ to the length of the body on this one and only did a half inch hem. This is size XL(12-14). She likes it, but says the area under the arms is scratchy. I expect that a run through the wash will likely take care of that problem.
Unfortunately, this will not be the pattern for her peace sign fabric. Now she is thinking maybe a skirt. Sigh.
Back to search my pattern files.
