Fi Fi summer set

I treated myself to this pattern a while back in a winter sale. I have to say I absolutely loved making this PJ set by Tilly and Buttons

All of the neat and beautiful techniques are so well explained in the little booklet enclosed. It is fiddly but in an intimate close way that makes sewing really joyful and accurate.

The cotton poplin fabric is from White Tree Fabrics and I was delighted when it arrived. It was very reasonably priced at £6.50m and I expected it to feel cheaper than it was. It is a beautifully soft lightweight cotton. Unfortunately this pattern is sold out but there are many other pretty prints.

I am not modelling it because it is a birthday gift for my friend's 17 year old daughter who is size 8! so on the washing line it goes.

If you are making this yourself make sure you don't choose a fabric with a stripe as the back and front bottom pieces are cut on the bias so you will end up with a bit of a messy optical illusion. Small and ditsy is the way forward but I can already see the potential for a stash busting mash up set to have another go.

I only pinned the back straps on, that is for her to measure up and sew herself. I made a little card to accompany it with sewing and washing instructions. Very happy sewing indeed.

I have been away this last week so I will catch up with everyone's fabulous makes next week.

Thanks for looking. Jo x
