women's tee into girl's embellished tee



I made this skirt for Preslie using Sandi Henderson's Portabellopixie Gracie pattern. She didn't have a top to go with it so I bought a yellow ModBe top at my local thrift store for $3. It was a Womens Large so I took it in to fit Preslie. With the few inches I cut off the bottom, I made some rosettes using this tutorial and sewed them on in a cluster. Totally dresses it up, I think!

Girls are so fun to dress!

easy top made by Preslie




Preslie made this top using an old pattern we dug out of my Mom's stash. It is Simplicity 7831.

She chose green flower lace she dug out of my stash (probably as old as the pattern).

It turned out so cute! I am proud of my budding seamstress. She has already gotten a few compliments from friends asking if she bought it at Justice. It does remind me of these two tops from Justice...



Go Preslie. Stylish and economical!
