Ottobre 01-2012 mod 17 - Tunic

My daughter is very much into pocket lately of any kind, so this tunic seemed like a good idea. Here's the technical drawing from the magazine

I made size 104, but should've probably opted for 98... It fits her more like a dress rather than tunic. Oh, well, I guess it means longer life of the item? After she tried it on, I was slightly disappointed with my fabric choice - it is great quality fabric, don't take me wrong, but it looks like a night gown on her...

I am very proud of myself how the binding details turned out - thanks to the walking foot! I love it. It doesn't stretch the fabric a bit, so worth the price.

Young Image Shorts

Although I have all three Young Image magazines, this is the first pattern I've tried and let me tell you - it is very nice! The pattern is Y1202 - Shorts, but I would call it a wrap skirt with underlying shorts.

I made size 104 for my 29 month-old daughter, but she is tall. In fact, there was a trial pair of just shorts I made. I skipped the ruffle part and just serged the edges of the skirt.

The fabric is from kidsfabrics.com - Island patch cotton interlock I bought not too long ago.
It's a very summerly and girly design and I am sure I will be making more of those.
