Another T-Shirt for pretty princess.

 
I made Pretty Princess another T-shirt. The sleeves and hood are left over from the first T-shirt and she picked out the blue material which has pirate ships all over it. I tired to stear her towards some flowers and butterflies but she wouldn't have a bar of it. At least they are bright colours black on children all the time is depressing. I made a six this time, which i am not really sure of the point cause around the tummy it's only another 3mm. Lucky that Pretty Princess is straight up and down. She loves this top and i think letting her pick the material helps. The sleeves are a litte long to but as my middle child Miss Diva  points out that she needs longer sleeves cause when she wipes her nose on i can roll them up. mmmmmmm 8 year old logic sometimes makes sense. Just to make it clear these are not two seperate T-shirts. The sleeves and the hood are attached to the blue material and the blue material is a single layer. I am off to swimming lessons for the kids. Have a great weekend.

Burda Kids 9614

Burda Kids 9614 for pretty princess.

Just one more month  of Winter. So i have decided to start making my younger two t-shirts. Pretty princes loves bright colours and the bonus is she can support her older brothers pedal prix team this weekend. So here is the information.
Pattern Description: T-shirt for kids
Pattern Sizing:
3-13, I made a size 5 which is what pretty princess is.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Sure did i made version B
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, I have had so much trouble with Burda Patterns before but this took me roughly a day to put together, In between the "Mums".
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
It Delivered. It was easy to put together. The neckline is easy to put together. It hangs well on her. It's got nice body length which is normally a pain for me as pretty princess has a long torso.
Fabric Used:
100% cotton jersey Yellow with white polka dots
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:
None
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes i would recommend it to others for a quick easy project to put together on a weekend, and you can mix and match the pattern to bring them into either winter or summer.

I love the yellow and purple mix. Problem is now i can get it off her to go into the wash.
