Lizzy's outfit.

I mentioned in my last post that I would post next time about the outfit I made Lizzy. OK well here it goes.

I used this pattern....

McCalls 6153

I have to say that I like this pattern. Cute and easy peasy!
This was the first real thing I had ever made from stretch knits and I was really excited about it!
Ever since I got my serger for my birthday last year I have said that I need to get over it and start sewing with some stretch material..So now I have and I love it!
I made a size 4 and I do think the pattern runs a little big compared to RTW.
I would size it closer to a 5.
So it is too big for Lizzy. But she will grow in to it.
(Hopefully..lol)

The top!
Bought the stretch knit from Hobby Lobby.


I eliminated the elastic in the sleeves and just left if short sleeve. I figured living in Louisiana she would get more wear out of it that way and I really didn't want to do the elastic in the sleeve. I usually get one arm bigger than the other and then the elastic in the sleeve may get too tight as she grows before she out grows the rest of the shirt. So I thought in my situation this option would be the best.
