I believe its Simplicity 5118, whips together pretty quickly. No modeling pic, maybe later, Summer is napping. (She needed a nap severely! :shake: )

Thanks for looking!

LOL, I skipped parts too! I didn't do the bias tape casing on the arms, I just sewed the elastic on above the hem with a triple zig zag stitch. And I used foe on the neckiline rather than making a casing and then sewing on decorative trim. I think next time I make it, I'll make it a one piece as well......

I used a similar pattern once, but I did do a bias tape casing inside for both the sleeves and the mid-section and it took so long for a peasant top that I swore I'd never do it again, lol. It did come out cute though. I think it's the one DD is wearing in my sig picture actually, lol.

I love the fabric you used. It'll be so cute on her!

Thanks ladies, but alas it's too big, Summer is too tiny. :( GRRRRR, I really hate the big 3 patterns!!!! I'm gonna have to size it down quite a bit and make her another one, luckily I have more of that fabric left.

It's more of a 2T/3T fit. (The pattern called it a 1/2 size, so I thought it would have a small bit of growing room for her, boy was I wrong....lol

So it's FS on the market board if anyone is interested. http://www.amitymama.com/vb/showthread.php?t=241531

I've made both the size 2 and the size 4 in that pattern, and the fit has been right on. I don't know why yours turned out so big. Did you take the full 5/8" seam allowance? To get the fit right you have to. I've never had a big 3 pattern turn out huge, I usually only have to shorten them. :confused:

Hmmm, I don't know either! I did use the full seam allowance though. Could be the choice of fabric, I used a seersucker....

I usually know better and size them down while cutting, I have a tiny girl.
