Swiss Dot September Tunic

Hey guys!  Happy Thursday!

And happy September!  Can't believe we're at fall's doorstep! I love it - fall and winter are my FAVES.  Crock-pots and leaves and snow and sweaters and boots and apple everything.  Love. It.

So to welcome the glorious autumn, I made a September Tunic - a pattern from Too Sweets! 

This pattern caught my eye right away when it was released not too long ago.  That silhouette is so precious, but without being *too* precious.  Just my style!

I'm sort of torn up about something though... It seems as though the days of my sewing things for Emmy in 2Ts and 3Ts are quickly coming to an end.  This tunic is a 3T, and it's a little small for my girl who's sprouting like WHOA lately.  Sigh.  It's still adorable, and I will make another, just in a size... gulp... 4.

So stinkin' cute.

Here's the Too Sweets version that I went gaga for:

I adore the slouchy/relaxed look, the high neckline, and the adorable button back.  I recently got a few different colors of Swiss dot from Denver Fabrics, and I imagined this grey would be a glllllllorious mate for this pattern.  I think it came out pretty special!  Too Sweets patterns are always a very easy sew, and I recommend them super highly!

The aforesaid adorable button back:

LOOK AT THESE BUTTONS.

They're like faux-crystal.  I got them at Jo-Ann a few months ago for zero reason at all except for LOOK AT THEM.

So that's my September Tunic!  I love love love it, and once I finish quietly weeping in a corner, I'll make Em another, one size up.  :) 

Stay tuned for some pretty awesome things coming down the pipeline this month!  There'll be news from LouBeeClothing, some selfish sewing, and perhaps a really big pattern bundle to talk about!
