Flutter & Finch

This week has been a sewing filled week as we get ready for our vacation to Florida.  I dare say, I'm a little burned out.  But my little girls won't be naked!

Clever Charlotte Flutter Blouse, as seen in the Spring 2012 Stitch magazine

I sewed a Medium in Prince Charming by Tula Pink.  I was a little unsure what size to make it and almost went with the Large as the girls' measurements just about put them in a large.  I'm glad I didn't as it would have been way too big.  I also added several inches to the length but as it turns out I didn't really need to.  I shouldn't have second guessed everything...put it down to sewing overload!

The details are wonderous.  Pintucks on the front with buttons to accent, gathered sleeves, and a keyhole opening in the back.

And it looks fabulous paired with the Raven pants!

Finch Shorts


BK wasn't left out...she got herself a pair of Finch shorts.  Once again, the details are divine!  The pleats, the tabs, the cuffs...I don't which one I like best.

Perhaps the tabs finished with black MOP buttons.:)

    1. The shorts are even sweeter on! I'm not sure how well they would look on MG with her skinny legs but on BK...they are perfection (at least I think so!).

  7. Cindy, love this top. I have one cut out in Lisette lawn that has been sitting on my sewing table for a while. This gives me lots of motivation to finish it.

  8. So cute! I love the fabric you used, she looks adorable! I just got the sandpiper pattern from clever charlotte. Do you think they run large in all of their patterns? Have fun in Florida!

  10. You have been sewing up a storm. Sewing woven tops and detailed shorts is not quite the same as cranking out t-shirts and leggings (:
    Both pieces are really lovely. I love the details on the shorts! Like you, though, I don't need to be tempted to buy more patterns, hehe.
