I’m so excited about this make! This is one of those moments when the fabric just knew what it was meant to become. I’d been dying to sew up this vintage-feel combo since this fabric released and was looking for the perfect pattern for it.
I’ve had the Issie Top by SewPony for ages! I’ve even had it printed out for months and months. It’s one of those patterns that’s so full of options that you get paralyzed deciding just which one to do first. I’ve always loved the cute side ruffles and once I had this fabric in my hands I knew the time had finally come to sew an Issie. I love the sweet, classic look of this pattern and paired with this retro-inspired color combo it’s a perfect match.
I did a size 8 with a little length added. Those ruffles added a few extra steps but because it’s a knit it was still a pretty quick project. The ruffles are sewn on top of the bodice which I was unsure of at first. In the end I love it that way- no big bulky seams on the inside to bug my little girly. Those big wide bands are a cute touch and also mean no hemming- hooray!
This fabric is too cute, right?! It’s from Raspberry Creek Fabrics of course! I used the cotton jersey version and paired it with mint jersey. Bri paired these two fabrics and I was instantly in love!
This fabric is only available until Valentine’s day so make sure you grab it soon! I love sewing for Valentine’s because we still wear our cute hearts year-round. Too cute to let sit in a closet!
