I made this. I can’t get a decent picture of it. It was a handmade thrifted top that had this cute crocheted yoke. I cut out the old bottom and put on this new one from this pretty nani iro floral. It kinda fits. Ok, maybe not really. But it looks cute on the hanger. Although I need to get some new cute hangers if I’m going to be showing off sewing for me. Can’t imagine I’ll have the guts to actually model anything but who knows. Right now I’m just feeling like a superhero because I was able to blog it at all. Technology was out to get me today. Better get out now while I’m ahead!
Oh, it’s so pretty! Lately I have been loving tops with crochet yolks, and this is a perfect example!
Very cute top. Mega props for repurposing the crocheted yoke.
it’s awesome! I was just thinking about doing the opposite: take a tank top I have and crochet some stuff on the top.
That is sooo pretty! I should be on the lookout…I would love to do something like that.
Oh! I think that’s really cute. Great idea to change up the bottom! I bet it looks adorable on!
cute! do it! if I could crochet, I’d crochet stuff on top of everything.
Wow, that looks amazing!
Sounds like you are having a day. Hope it gets better.
I love the top!!
Such lovely colours. It is gorgeous.
prety, pretty, modeled shots please. and I’m impatiently waiting for your book to arrive from Amazon, yay!
Within about 20 minutes of bringing your new book home this afternoon, I got the following requests from my girls: Betty, Sleepover dolls, and topsy-turvy doll. Then a request for a mermaid and for the hansel and gretel puppets (we recently made spoon puppets, but nothing nearly as creative and fun as those). We (all three of us girls) LOVE your new book and all of the projects. I have my work cut out for me, so time to get to it! 🙂

I love you work and I wrote a little gush about your new book (which I adore!) here; http://sewtospeak.blogspot.com/
After writing it I made the mermaid doll for my little girl, she loves her! and wants us to make more mermaids so they can be friends 🙂
Very pretty! I’m happy that we got to see it.
April! those pics of Aelyn looking through the book are ADORABLE!! Melts my heart. I’d love to see the mermaid you made. How did it go?!
The dress is cute. I love this website. I’ll be buying the Wee Wonderfuls book soon.
