Have any of you taken a peak at Hanna Andersson's spring collection? I love Hanna. I love that the clothing makes little girls look like little girls. Something that many clothing designers for kids seem to be overlooking these days.
Anyway I fell in love with one of their current dresses (I hesitate to post one of their photos here).
If you love it too, dig out your favorite raglan T pattern. I used the Ottobre PJ shirt pattern I used to make these pajamas.
Any raglan T pattern will do.
Tutorial on how to turn it into this little Hanna knockoff to follow. :)
Last day to enter the Little Lizard Kings Pattern Giveaway. If you haven't had a chance to enter yet, click over!
Yeah! Christine, I love your tutorials, they are always so easy to follow! :) When I received H.A.'s spring catalog, I couldn't help but think "I could make that" over and over again! I can't wait for your tute! :) M*

ReplyDeleteok hoping not too seem like a fool I hate to ask but what is a raglan t? I swear I'm a great seamstress! I promise! lol Some how I must have missed the "raglan" memo...
ReplyDeleteCute! I hear you when you say "little girls clothes that look like little girls"! I have 2 (soon 3) girls and sometimes it's so hard to find cute stuff for them. Looking forward to seeing your tutorial!
ReplyDeleteKeriann, a raglan T would be one were the arm seams come down in the front on an angle. You know like a baseball T? Instead of the seams being up on the shoulder. Do you get what I mean? :)
ReplyDeleteMay I ask where you purchased your French terry, and if it was very expensive? I've only found it one place locally, and at $29/metre, none of it came home with me.
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait! I am not buying the kids clothing from any stores this year (except maybe jeans, if I can't find them in the thrift store)for a few reasons. One being, so many of the clothes in stores nowadays don't make them look like little girls, I totally agree with you.
ReplyDeleteI ordered it from Sewzannes Tanya. It is stretch french terry- I did a search and looks like she is out.
ReplyDeleteShe does have some reg black and brown.
It was $6.99 a yrd and it is really nice!
I pay in the shipping to Canada though!
Love, love, love it. Can't wait for the tutorial. Can I ask a question? I ordered a back issue of Ottobre magazine in English but none of the instructions are in English just some of the headings. Is this right or did I get a European copy by mistake?
ReplyDeleteCrystal you got a European copy by mistake! The English has all English instructions. If you contact them they will send you the right issue, they have excellent customer service.
ReplyDeleteI was *hearting* the Hanna dresses as well this spring, but the shipping costs to Canada are so outrageous. The red one you created is lovely!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Cannot wait to follow this one. After reading about it here, I subscribed to Ottobre, and like your blog, it has taken my sewing to a whole new level. Thanks so much for all you do. With two little granddaughters to dress, tutorials like this one are terrific!
ReplyDeleteI love it so much that I couldn't wait for the tutorial. I made my oldest daughter a version out of green and brown fabric with a slightly different sleeve.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that you are inspiring me every other day!
