Following on from yesterday's post, another recent winner in the little lady dressmaking department was this sweet little Icecream Top (one of the 3 options offered in this pattern). This time I used this print from my Posy line called Meadow, which shows (amongst other things) cute little girls in stripy tee's holding baby chicks in their hands whilst seated next to a kercheif wearing chicken. The print in the white colourway is my absolute favourite since it most closely resembles a little illustration from a sketchbook (the artist in me can't help but love that).
Lucky for me, the little satorially discerning lady is also a fan and willingly wears it of her own free will (the phew factor is high here).
Apparently it goes very well with tutu's as well as the stripy hopscotch skirt I showed you in yesterday's post - Not that I know these things, I am told them.
Wow!
I did loved the stripped skirt (no time to comment on yesterday post, though), but this ice cream blouse goes directly into the top of my to-sew list! Can't wait to "copy" your version - your Meadow print is just perfect :)

So cute! I was looking at this pattern after your post yesterday. I will be a grandma (someday) and I keep thinking that I really should learn about garment making. I just find it so scary! Would you call this pattern easy, moderate, or difficult? Keep in mind I've never gathered anything!

Such a cute, and might I add age appropriate, outfit!! Those prints/your new line are wonderful!! Hugs, Doreen

Again a 10 on the cute scale!
I have a 13yo boy - the cute factor is really low at our house. Good thing I can get a fix from your blog!

Oh what a cute little Easter outfit I can see! Thanks for sharing your adventures with the land of childhood garment sewing, The hardest part is not the project itself, it's like Project Runway on speed to sew for your kids at this age.

what a perfect top - I just saw it in the Oliver and S pool but I am at work and forgot my password so I can't sign in to flickr. I have recently become obsessed with oliver and s patterns. I really want to try to make the same top as you. I can't wait for the fabric to come out.

Absolutely adorable! Wow! I'm super impressed that you have such cute clothing skills on top of quilting skills! Congrats on the new fabric line. Darling. As always.

Oh the best dressed girl in town!

Gorgeous! My resolution this year is to attempt to make more garments for my little girl rather than quilts (although there will still be plenty of them hopefully). You're fabric is sure to shine in my attempts.
P.S. I've been looking at the Oliver+S patterns and want to make them all!

Adorable fabric and little girl. So cute together.

Oh wow it's gorgeous. I need to make an ice cream dress again soon - I think the little gals love it because it's so swingy and non-restrictive! And in your fabric it's divine.

Hmmm... Lovely! So that's where you get the inspiration from for those cute little children on your fabrics!

I love your fabrics - all your ranges are so fresh and now - so wish that they could be available in South Africa
