I picked up some adorable vintage-looking fabric a few weeks ago, and have had plans to sew up some summer tops for my girls. Today it was really windy outside, and despite all of the other things I should have been doing inside, I decided to spend the day sewing. I finished these sweet little swing tops for Lily and Kate (Lily isn't pictured because her impromptu nap and the timing of my finishing the tops didn't work out so well). I used McCall's Pattern M6022...I picked up a bunch of patterns when Joanne's recently had all of their McCall's patterns for 99 cents. I'm forcing myself to learn to follow patterns...but as always, I did have to do things my way for a few of the steps...I guess it goes back to my issues with authority. I don't like being told what to do ;) And just for the record...I am not a seamstress...I'm still learning.
This is Lily's top...I can't wait to see her in it!
They are really cute! And I love that fabric. Great job.

My mom is helping me make a prom dress for my oldest, who turns 16 today, and without her I'd be in a heap of trouble because I can't follow patterns. I am a winging it kind of gal. But man, I wish I knew about the 99 cent patterns! crud! Oh well. Adorable tops!
P.S. Like the new editions to the music

They turned out adorable and such a cute model you have there. I love little girls summer tops. I think I'll pull out my patterns to see what I have to sew up.

They are really cute! And I love that fabric (Denyse Schmidt from Joanns, right?). I have some of it too.

They are so, so cute, Sherelle! My sister-in-law just started sewing last August and she loves it! Like you, she makes a few modifications with the patterns. I'll have to let her know about M6022 (thanks for identifying it). The fabrics are beautiful.
