Today presented the perfect weather for bunkering down in the studio and sewing.
Liberty is such a perfect weight for little tops like this; and always so divine to sew with.
Adelaide is proving a difficult target to photograph these days - always on the move.
The little tear on her cheek is because I sat her on a stool she couldn't get off. She was not happy.
This top is rather sweet, especially from the back. I think next time I'll put more roll in the shoulder ruffle (which would cause it to sit like a capped sleeve - a little like on this top).
So precious.

Beautiful! You are so talented! Is this from a pattern of your own design?

She looks super cute. Getting those toddlers to pose is just not easy. Our little one is always on the move and we can't ever seem to catch her.

Gorgeous top and so beautifully modelled by Adelaide. I've had a bit of a hankering myself lately to try one of those little ruffled sleeves....

Adelaide looks exquisite in the top, Kristine.
I love the ruffles just the way they are - and also...think about having to iron the capped sleeve!!!; although you are a born natural for those :)
Have a lovely week.
