Farbenmix Amelie sleeveless hoodie

This time round for my little one.

I liked the ladies version of this (Farbenmix Amelia) when I made it up last month.

It is comfy and I really love the cut of the flared body.

Today I made the Amelie for my daughter.

It sews up really quickly and my only disappointment was the embroidery.

It is another gorgeous design from EmiOli (from the Enchanted Forest collection) but I just couldn't get it to work on this fabric.

It is wearable but even on my 2nd attempt with good stabilisation,
it was pretty much a disaster.

The lightweight knit fabric is probably just not up to it.

I'm still learning a lot about this embroidery thing!

It looks really cute! You can't tell a thing about the embroidery from the photo, other than its very sweet.

Thanks Leisl. You can notice that there is no close up lol. Looks much better from a bit of a distance. Otherwise the cute little critter looks a bit on the mangy side.

Fabulous hoodie! I'm often eying off the lovely stuff that Jolijou does for Farbenmix, but I confess the embroidery thing scares the living daylights out of me!

That is the most gorgeous little top. I love the polka dots and the flared body. I'm just discovering these Farbenmix patterns and I am hooked. I hope you and your family have a wonderful day. X
