FO Friday: Dolman Top Duex

Happy Friday! 

I made it through another week of the school holidays, that in itself is worth celebrating right?

This week I've mainly been working on my second Hitchhiker, but I did manage to make my youngest daughter her Dolman top over the weekend. She loved it so much that she insisted on wearing it to two parties.

I found this one much easier than the first 2 I made. Maybe the alcohol helped. I always seem to sew better when I'm drinking

And one top for the small. All is now right with the world #sewing #knitfabric #dolman

She likes her top #sewing #dolman

and both tops together
Side by side

So what have you been working on this week?

The Dolmaniacs



Kitschy Coo

This week I'm taking part in the Kitschy Coo sew-along.

I've had some issues sewing with knit fabrics so although I have these pretty fabrics

I decided to make a tester using cheap jersey I already had

Dolman Top

My daughter is 5.5yrs, in 6-7yr clothing, so I played it safe and tried out the 7/8yr size of the pattern. It's a little big around the neck and chest but the length is how I like it on her.

For the real Dolman top I'll be using the 5/6 pattern, with the 7/8 length.
