Lolita tee by Cinderella *zwergen* mode
I gave this pattern a test run using fabric solely chosen for the fact
that the mini diva of the house would like them.
(= lots of pink)
I had no regard for the fibre content of the various stretch knits so it may come out of its first wash
more resembling a stuffed bear that has been pulled in 3 different directions
by 3 kids
at the same time
than a tee shirt.
I chose the embroidery for the same reason.
Luckily she adores it.
I haven't seen her so keen and happy to try on something that I have made her
for quite some time.
I would have been more adventurous with my fabric choices
if I didn't care about it being shoved to the back of the drawer
by said goddess.
Fabrics: pink Stella from Crafty Mamas, other knits from stash.
Pattern: as above from Crafty Mamas
Embroidery: Designs by Juju- Fun Spring Butterflies (applique)
Approval rating from the kid: 6 out of 5
I lengthened the tee as other sewers had commented that it was quite short.
I would also seriously recommend using like fabrics.
(I'm now quite nervous about washing the darn thing.
Imagine the tantrum if it gets destroyed in the wash...)
Now if I can just get over the name of this pattern...
Lolita reminds me of THAT movie...
...and I have a hard time reconciling a pattern for a little girl called the same.

Ah now that is a HAPPY girl! I like the contrasting fabrics and the embroidery and I always marvel at how right you get your stabilising as there never appears to be any pulling or distortion in your embroidery work, well done.
this is so cute! I love the embroidery, the outcome top is very cute and your little girl is gorgeous! my girls would have loved such a top to!
If she wears it Tas, then it's a winner! How could you NOT like a shirt with those roses on it!
I haven't bought this pattern cause I just can't get past the name either :)
Super cute! And it looks like a winner!
