Sewing for my daughter lately has been so much fun! I wish I would have started making more of her clothes a lot sooner, but clothes aren’t exactly my strong point. It started with the Addison Ruffle Dress I made for The Sew Off competition I was in, then I sewed an adorable floral dress using See Kate Sew’s pattern. Today I’m going to share this little top I made. It was inspired by a shirt I saw at Gap Kids (it’s out of stock now) but it’s ok, because mine is way cuter

I have to warn you up front though, this is more of a how-to than an actual pattern. I am not a super fantastic seamstress. I can follow tutorials and patterns, but when it comes to making up my own, let’s just say there is a lot of trial and error, and there is a reason they made seam rippers! : ) The good news is I mainly made this by going off the measurements of another one of Addison’s shirt and made slight adjustments where necessary. So if you are pretty good at kid’s clothes, this shouldn’t be too difficult. Oh, and try to to laugh to hard at my super awesome sewing lingo

Now for the back panel, you want it to be the same length as the front panel, but you have to take into consideration the extra allowance for the casing for the elastic. But before you make the casing for your elastic, you are going to cut out a little off the top of the panel so it creates that cut out look under your bow. To do this I folded my back panel piece in half, wrong sides together. Starting at the fold I measured about 1 1/2? down and cut out curving up towards the corners of the raw edges. You don’t want to make too big of a dip here because once you add the elastic it will look more drastic. I made a diagram to help explain where to cut.
