I purchased one new pattern for KCWC (so far anyway, it’s still early!) – the Round Neck Top from That Darn Kat. Apparently I have a particular fondness for the round neck style – I found four of them in my Flickr stream from the past two years!
The two in the top row are made with New Look 6903, and the bottom row is the Prudent Baby Snappy Toddler top, a free tutorial/pattern in size 12-18 months.
Lila has sized out of both of those patterns, so it was time to find a new one. I’d seen this one floating around in various places, and had lots of fun making That Darn Kat’s undies, so I knew it would be a good choice.
This pattern goes from size 2 to 7, and I was pleased with the fit and sizing (I had to do a lot of tweaking with the New Look pattern). I made a size 3 and it’s roomy, as expected, but it fits. I like the length and there’s plenty of room underneath for a long sleeved shirt. And while we did have three glorious days in the 70s this week, it’s still going to be long sleeved shirt weather around here for quite awhile.
Those are yesterday’s Sailboat pants underneath.
And this is what I get when I request a photo shoot immediately upon waking up from nap. Pouty face.
Pattern: Round Neck Top/Dress from That Darn Kat, size 3
Fabric: Bridle Path from Kate Spain’s Central Park line, and Kaffe Fasset shot cotton in ice
See you tomorrow!
what gorgeous tops and lovely photos too
I love this top and I am also a round neck top junkie!
Adorable patterns, perfect color combination and even a precious pouty face. . .what’s not to love!!
The top looks great! Especially paired with the new Sailboat pants.
So lovely! Those colors look great together, and the top looks perfect with the chambray pants. I, too, was looking for a round neck pattern recently but wanted one without buttons, and found Simplicity 2270 which is dress length but can obviously be shortened.
Thanks for sharing!
gorgeous top for a gorgeous girl!
Great outfit! Love the fabric on the top. And love the pouty face 🙂
Looks super cute! I’ve been bitten by a sewing bug….. darn moving is just getting on the way. 😦 I want to do more, more, more. I’ll just have to find the time to do it somehow. And yes, my fabrics and all other sewing stuff is going to be packed last.
Just gorgeous! Mustardy yellow on a little blonde is one of my favorite things. The white yoke is precious
she’s so sweet. love that green print, so pretty! heheh, love that pout too.
I’m so happy you are doing the KCWC Gail! What a beauitful little shirt, perfect for the summer and as always your fabric selection is dreamy. Really looking forward to seeing what comes next!
Beautiful! I’d forgotten about that pattern- I think I’ve got it squirreled away somewhere. You’ve inspired me to dig it out. I love your color choices, too…. and the red TOMS!
yup, you inspired me to create a similarly sunny and happy round neck dress… thanks!
i have that same print in blue laminate for a raincoat. let’s see if i ever get around to making it.
So sweet, even with pouty face.
That yellow print is darling.
Yes, there is something about this style top that is so darn cute! I love your fabric choices here and that big dot one on the bottom right corner of your past-round neck top collage is adorable too! Hmph, so now I’ve added sailboat pants, round neck top and knot shorts on my to-do list.
Beautiful! Just perfect with the pants! You should see the face my little one makes when I ask him to try a garment mid-construction right after his nap. Oh well, all in the name of a great challenge!
I love everything you do – this top and pants are no exception! Now I want to make a top just like it.
lovely,as always……….
really, really cute. love those colors together. i’m sure you could draft your own round neck pattern at this point – apparently you have TONS of experience! 🙂
What an adorable outfit, love the fabric and your photos are beautiful!
What a gorgeous top! That print looks so soft and pretty with all that white.
Lovely, lovely! As always, you have great taste in fabric and the cutest model.
i love this top!!
Oh, that last picture! That pouty face is ripping my heart into two.
They look amazing. I have this pattern trying to make the dress. Finding it difficult with attaching the yoke. Do you have any tips? Thanks
i’m sorry, i really don’t remember! you might try emailing katie from that darn kat, she might be able to help you!
