Two cute Little Tops

Hello.

I made a couple of little tops the other day using one of my Japanese Pattern Books.

The brown top was made from a doona cover I picked up from the op-shop for $1

It is such nice fabric, with a little silky shine to it.

I used this pattern but decided not to add the ruffle to the sleeves,

instead adding some elastic.

I made the second top for my daughter to wear for her school photos.

This one I made plain red using quilting cotton and just added some black buttons and ribbon.

I'm sure I will make a few more of these tops.

They are just sooo sweet!

A $3 Skirt and More Bargain Finds

Hello.

I wanted to share some of the great op shop finds I have made over the last couple of weeks.

This skirt would have to be one of my favourite things.

Just check out this pocket. I just love it!

I am going to try to copy it on one of the next skirts I make.

It has lovely ribbon edging around the pocket and such pretty embroidery around the bottom.

 A pretty skirt for $3

Then I found a cool boys shirt.

Not bad for $3 

For the first time I searched out sewing patterns at my local op shop and I found these ones.

I got the 3 patterns for $2

The PJ's (on the left) is size 2 and will perfectly suit my little one for next summer.

The skirt pattern is size 6. I don't have any one to fit it yet but I just LOVED it and couldn't not buy it. 

This t-shirt pattern I bought to use as a standard t-shirt. It is size 4-5-6

so I will get some use out of it with my 4 & 5 year old.

That's it for today.

I'll be sure to share any other finds from my op shop adventures soon.
