    Pattern Description: Knit t-shirt with shirring detail in the front. I've already reviewed this pattern Once before. Since then, I've made this pattern multiple times, because I just love how quick and easy it is and raglan sleeves allow plenty of fabric contrast choices. I've made with different color sleeves and binding and this time I simply lengthened the shirt about 2" to make it into a dress for summer.

    Pattern Sizing: Pattern is sized from 62 - 92 cm. I am still using size 68 for my daughter who is 2 years old now but she is a tiny toddler.

    Fabric Used: I used this really cute printed Cotton Lycra Knit from Girl Charlee Fabrics. My absolute favorite place to buy cute knits.

    Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I lengthened the pattern to make it into a dress. This topic on the boards inspired me to do it.

    Instead of elastic in the sleeves, I just bound it with contrasting knit to make them into bell sleeves. But I think it'll rip it out and put elastic. I dont like the look too much and its not practical for a toddler.

    Closeup

    Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will absolutely do this again! I love love love this pattern!

    P.S. I made leggings using this New Look Pattern

    Cute outfit! Thanks for linking to the New Look pattern, as well. I've been looking for a tunic/legging pattern combo for my daughter. :)
