batch of little zippy tops for Ava

Ava is moving up into 24 mo & 2T clothing! Which is exciting because I get to sew her some new stuff up!

Fun Fact: I get tired of seeing some things I have made over and over again on the older girls.

I LOVE changing up their wardrobes often, and gave a TON of their old (I’ll be honest, some barely worn) clothes to my sister in law who was happy to get them for my niece to use…kinda a win-win.

It’s the plight of the kids clothing blogger, right? Always something new to be made, but their dressers have a finite amount of room….

Well anyways. I had a hankering to make an easy cap sleeve top with a zipper in back.

Then I remembered Kate’s Little Zippy top pattern!

She emailed it over to me right away (well, I asked her since we’re tight like that yo) and I immediately cut out like 4.

(I did receive the pattern for free but all thoughts and opinions are my own)

First of all, I LOVE how fast they are to make. (C and S both have one I’ll share with you another day)

It’s only got 4 pattern pieces. simple. quick. My kind of pattern.

I love that the smaller sizes only need 1/2 yard of fabric!

I had this cotton & steel 1/2 yard sitting around and wham. done. faster than you can drive to Target*, I had a new top.

*Ok, if you live in the country far away from Target….but anyways.

Second of all-I love that it’s the perfect silhouette for showing off a favorite or bold fabric. So fun!

Zipper from ZipIt!

they have a HUGE selection if you’re stocking up for some fun Zippy tops!

Second verse! Same as the first! A little more flowery and definitely not worse.

ha.

You might recognize this fabric-I made an Olivia top with it for Sadie awhile back…Charlotte’s wearing that one lately.

One does not simply give away Liberty clothing.

amiright?

imright.

I had just enough leftover for this little top and I adore it on her!

and that zipper? Vintage, from my grandma’s stash.

I know, right?

and last, but not least-a rayon black and white rose printed zippy!

with a bright pink zipper because you gotta pop your zipper if you go for B&W.

don’t remember where I got this fabric, sorry.

Diaper booty. Egads.
