V neck sailor style top

This is a top I’ve made as my friend’s birthday present using textured silk in cream colour and chambray cotton in blue. It is the same style as the Amusing Girl’s top in the previous blog post except that the cuffs and the hem are finished in a different way with an inverted pleat.

the Amusing Girl’s top and skirt calico ver.

This is the Amusing Girl’s look of “It rained into her room.” collection in calico. The raglan sleeve V-neck top has an attached section around the neckline, which I plan to do it in crochet in the final version. The gathered mini skirt is made by patchwork using calico in two different textures. You can see that the skirt is actually striped in the close up images. I’m planning to make it in rainbow colours in the final version but having a hard time finding the right shade of green…

I decided to go with 40 stripes in the end but this one was made first, with 20 stripes which are wider.

the Smart Girl’s shirt and skirt calico ver.

This is the Smart Girl’s look of “It rained into her room.” collection in calico. Her style is school uniform inspired. The breast pocket has graduations drawn by fabric pen to represent a rain gauge. The tiny shawl collar and the button placement of the shirt are representing a falling raindrop. The pleated skirt has dots drawn along the hem like a splash. The resin buttons have beads and sequins in light blue trapped inside except for the large one used for the skirt waist which has fabric embroidered in red inside.
