Velvet Ribbon

Hello everyone.. As promised in my previous post, here is my new top that I made especially to wear with my orange shorts. The top has round front neckline, V-back, short sleeves, and loose fitting.

Sorry for not updating my diy's episode for so many weeks, I have been busy with a lot of good things :) My little boy needed some new shorts to wear on summer. All his shorts are getting small and tight at the waist. Well, I decided to search my stash and found leftover of knit cotton that is enough to make two shorts. Yay! Materials: knit cotton 3 cm wide elastic thread Pattern: Based on BurdaStyle Boy's Sweatpants 10/2013-124 size 110.
