Week 32: Hanami Blog Tour

Hello everyone!!!

I'm here!!!

I'm posting this week later because I'd like to present to you "Hanami Top or Dress".

(During week 32 I was testing this new pattern)

The Hanami is Straight Grain's new pattern.

Is easy to sew with easy to follow instructions, pretty and has variations. YEAH!!!
Thank you An, I love variations.

What do you want to sew for your girl?

Dress or Top

Regular flutter sleeves or Tulip flutter sleeves.  With or without Peter Pan collar.

With zipper (invisible) or without. If you choose without zipper, you'll sew a beautiful crossed back.

This pattern will be with you for 10 YEARS!!! Yes, because is in size 1 to 10 Y, including 18 month.

Mint dress (inspiration) is size 1Y. Is shorter than specifications because my girl is below the chart and because I like shorter.

I made a dress before the mint one. Like a muslin version. Is longer and I had problems with the collar. If you buy the pattern you won't have the same problem.

The top is size 18 month. Well, my girl is petite. The top is wide for her.
We found another allergy and eliminated the food from her diet and now she is gaining weight!!! I hope the top will fit her for Christmas.
The sleeves are wrong, I just realized when I saw the pictures.  Ann warns you about it in the tutorial. UPS!
The back is very beautiful and I used snaps instead buttons.

The tutorial has pictures and diagrams. Specifications in centimeters and inches and a Chart for finished garment. So you can compare THAT very suitable top or dress your daughter love and then you choose the size.

The pattern doesn't use the whole page, so you can print it in letter or A4. Printing Instruction includes a chart with the pages you need to print for your choosen size. Print less, always welcome.

Will I sew again this top or dress? Definitely. I love it!!

What are you waiting?? Go and get your Hanami!!!
