Some polka-dot jersey and pink interlock, plus a little green baby-rib from an old t-shirt. The pattern is Zoe from Farbenmix -- it looks a little like a rashguard to me, but it came out pretty cute. Emily certainly loves it! Strawberry and stem were freehanded and then cut out. (Is that even English?) I also tried the Farbenmix-recommended triple zig-zag on the hems, and I actually really like it a lot. I will definitely be doing that on knits from here on out! I did not try the recommended ironing-the-shirt-before-you-take-a-photo technique there, apparently. Oops!
If you are in a strawberry locale, I hope you enjoy your June berries as much as we do!!
Oh - that is so sweet! I love the green neckline as well. I just came in from tucking Frida in out in the garden where she sleeps in her pram. I passed the strawberry bed outside, and just noticed that the first few strawberries are red already! And then I came in to see your post - funny! Hope you get to go picking strawberries! And thanks for the tip on the hems - I'll definitely try that! :)
ReplyDeleteI used the zig-zag to hem pj's - worked like a dream.
ReplyDeleteThe shirt is adorable! Point me in the direction of cute knit fabric, please.
Thanks guys!! And astrid, I am so jealous -- your own strawberry bed!! We don't get enough sun to grow any fruits or vegetables. Maybe in our next house....
