More sewing . . . Simplicity 2599


I made one more thing this week--well, two if you count this cute purse I made for a little girl's birthday party that Andreas was going to (bought pattern a few years ago from youcanmakethis.com): https://www.youcanmakethis.com/info/featured-products/aivilo-one-hour-hipster.htm
I added two coordinating ruffled headbands made from this online tutorial: http://homestitched.blogspot.com/2011/01/ruffled-headband.html
And finished my second top made from Simplicity 2599. It's a great pattern--has over 50 reviews on patternreview.com--and allows for a lot of individualization. This is the second version I've made--the first one turned out well also. Here's the review: http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/readreview.pl?readreview=1&reviewnum=63146
I used a cotton voile print from Anna Maria Horner's Little Folks line. The fabric is just gorgeous--light and smooth. I love this voile but it is expensive--I only bought this because it was on sale.

  1. Lovely! I love the dress, too. I have seen the Anna Maria Horner voile used in quilts, etc., on other craft blogs and always think it looks so nice.
