Natalie's 1st "Home-made/handmade" top ^^

I'm really happy to have completed making Natalie's sleeveless top ^^ Not quite sure if she likes it though, cus I had such a hard time persuading her to try it on! hehe...

She was so giggly & wriggly, I had a hard time adjusting the bows on her shoulders. Eventually, I had to resort to bribing her with some cookies in exchange for the "photo-shoot". What a difficult model! lol...
I bought this pattern from danslalune on Etsy early June. But since it's my first attempt at making a top, I decided to wait till my mom's in Singapore, so that she can guide me along.

First, we had to piece the patterns together, & it became pretty straightforward from then on. We both agreed that this is probably a good beginner's project. No frills ^^

The cut out, with the inner layer sewn on already.

The completed piece ;) So happy with this, I've decided to do a second piece. Longer this time, so that it can be worn as a dress ^^ Hm... & I'd probably make the pocket bigger, & put it at the centre. Oh, & instead of tied up bows at the shoulders, I may wanna modify it as clip on buttons there.

But first, I have to finish up the custom orders I have at hand first, b4 my 2nd "dress Natalie" project :D
I love how the bows tie up so pretty. But it's a different story when putting it on Natalie as she's quite giggly when I'm doing this. I had to re-do it several times so that both sides are positioned well. Only to be tugged by her little hands once she's free from me :P

Oh Natalie!!!!
