My good
friend Suz has just released a new pattern, the Issie Top! I am so flattered to
have been invited for the pattern tour… And of course, and I am delighted to show
you the Issie I made for my daughter Ines.
PATTERN:
Issie Top by Sew Pony. The Issie Top is a pattern for a sweet and girly stretchy
top and it comes with lots and lots of options. I choose the view with two side
ruffles and no cuffs and I made a little change to the original pattern: I
lined the ruffles. (Why can’t I just follow the instructions?!) Because my
ruffles were lined, I made a small change to the construction of the top: I
sandwiched the ruffles in-between the side and the front/back upper pieces. Of
course, to do so I had to split both upper pieces into side front/middle front
and side back/middle back and add seam allowances to those pieces. Much easier to do then to explain, I must say…
Anyway, the Issie top was a breeze to sew. The fitting was perfect and Ines was
really happy to wear it.
FABRIC:
Blue cotton french terry (main fabric) and printed viscose knit (ruffles
lining) both from my stash. (Yeah! I feel so happy to sew nice clothes without
the need of buying more fabric…) There is not much to say about the fabric I
picked this time. It is ok quality (I’ve been spoiling my kids with the wonderful
Nosh Organics and they are becoming kind of picky, especially when it comes to
knits…) and I hope it survives the playing and washing as I am sure this top
will be worn over and over again.
So, I hope
I have inspired you to sew this cute top… You can get your copy of the pattern

PS: Can you tell Ines still has some leftover make up from her black cat Halloween costume? Well, I only noticed it after all the photos were taken...
