I didn't' do anything terribly exciting with the pattern this time. There are so many options with the pattern (three collars, two sleeve cuffs and three skirt options!) that I couldn't think of anything I'd actually change. I did add a belt and side seam pockets, though.
The fabric I chose for this was Nordika by Jeni Baker and a coordinating print. I've had my eye on this fabric for a while and I was just waiting for the right pattern to put it with. Tinny seemed like a match made in heaven.
I used the beautiful tulip cuffs and the open collar.
I added a belt and tied a small bow on the side.
and I also added hidden side pockets in the same coordinating fabric. Now Miss can carry her treasures with her. Usually Littlest Pet Shop or coins she's found laying around.
As usual, you can click on any image and view them full size in my flickr account.
I love the "print key" as well!!! What a fabulous idea, huh?? Nice use of accent fabric to coordinate with the hemline....

ReplyDeleteI'm in love with this fabric too! Your dress, and photos, are gorgeous. And I've just made a 'flipped Tinny' in thisNordika print ... although the result is really quite different. It's such a simple and versatile pattern. I'd love it if you pop over to as-it-seams.blogspot.co.uk and take a look!
