Replica #2

Big Sis saw my replica blouse and asked if I could do the same for her because her favourite blouse was now too small. So here is her new one.


Her old one had a faux placket detail which I did on this one with three daisies from the trim I added to the hem. It looked a bit 'stuck on' so I added clear buttons on top and she loved that part.


The fabric is white and the trim is cream which I thought might bother me but it was just so darn pretty I didn't care.


I bought this pattern ages ago and have used it many times. It is too small for her now so I sized it up to fit a skinny eight year old. It's so easy to make either as a dress or a top - I highly recommend it as a download pattern.


One more item for the summer box under her bed. 
Bit too chilly for modelling right now wouldn't you say? 

Thanks for looking. Jo x

  2. The blouse is sweet. I have made a couple of Pollys (on your recommendation actually) and love the pattern. I have now started using women's patterns for my girl because she has become rather shapely lately. Not sure if I want to laugh or cry. Have a great weekend. x

  5. The white and cream combination looks just right to me, and I can imagine Big Sis enjoying modeling the blouse when the weather warms. Happy Valentine's Day, Jo :) xx
