A few days ago Shauna from Shwin & Shwin launched her new fall patterns. They are all amazing but the moment I saw The Madonna Ruffle Top I had to have it!
The pattern comes in PDF form and is sent right after purchase, something I always love! That afternoon I quickly put the pattern pieces together and started cutting out my fabric. For me, cutting out the fabric pieces is always my least favorite part to do. So I have been trying to do this the day before while the kids are eating lunch.
The next day I sewed both tops in under 2 hours worth of time. They went together super fast and without any issues.
And as you can see my girls LOVE these tops! I used some regular knit fabric that I had along with some ribbed knit that I purchased for about 50 cents a yard a few weeks back. The colors look great together.
I made both tops a size 4t. One of my girls is more like a 3t but I always make a 4t to allow for growth. For her, the top is more like a dress then a top and that is perfectly fine with us. This way we can pair it with leggings or tights and hopefully we can get a few seasons out of it.
I love how the sleeves can be shorter or longer just by pulling them up. The ribbing on the cuffs keeps them in place perfectly. One of my girls likes the sleeves up and one of them likes the sleeves down. Funny how they are!
Of course their favorite part is the ruffles on the bottom.
And I would have to agree!
So cute – the tops and the girls …
Gosh your girls are just too flipping cute! Oh, and those tops, too. 🙂
I love to see your girls!! two beautiful princesses in these cute tops. kisses
The tops are adorable and in my favorite color! Of course, the models are adorable too! 🙂
