Madeline's Collection - The Embroidered Tunic!



I wasn't sure what to start with this week, but after going to Madeline's gymnastics class and having two separate mothers come up to ask me where I bought this top, I knew it was the winner and worthy to be shared :). I simply love it, probably because of the little extra work that I put into it with the embroidered back.



It is just so pretty and feminine, yet completely wearable and comfortable at the same time!

I have discovered a new fascination with embroidery lately, and am loving adding these little personalized touches to my outfits. I feel like they are that little extra something that tells the wearer that this outfit was made with love...



With a fabric like damask, I didn't need any additional embroidery pattern, just followed along with the fabric lines.

I even got to add my latest favorite fashion accessory, braids, with the tie around the neck! Overall I feel like this shirt is a total success, one we will get tons of use out of.

Now if we can just get the weather to warm up a tad bit more, we would be in business! Lol.

Happy Sewing everyone!

  34. I'm wondering Would it be hard to make this for a smaller child? 7-9 months? I love the top but my little girl wont make her entrance into the world until Sept. So I'm thinking next summer. Thoughts?

  35. Adorable! I wish my daughter was still little enough for me to make her something like this.
