<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had a lot of fun sewing this top. I ran across this <a href="http://www.pearlsandscissors.com/2013/05/diy-romantic-lace-t-shirt-and-pattern.html">blog post</a> last week about adding lace to a tshirt and just loved it. So when I decided to sew up the Piko Top by Everything Your Momma Made I just knew I had to try it. </span></div>

This is my version of the Laurel Tunic. It's going into summer, so I thought a sleeveless version without the cowl would be perfect. The knit fabric I used was slightly on the thinner side, so I decided to fully line the bodice. The great thing about that was no binding.</div>

I sewed the full pleated version front and back. Because the fabric was thinner, it did not add any unwanted bulk and is very flattering.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The "casings" are a square about 4" x 4", I hemmed two opposing sides and wrapped it around the shoulder area wrong sides out. Then I sewed it together lengthwise, not catching the shirt fabric, and then turned it right sides out. And then did the same to the other shoulder. It's a very simple alteration with a fun little color punch. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For the top I made a sleeveless version and added flutter sleeves. If you've never done that, it's very easy to do. Here's a quick tutorial on adding <a href="http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2012/07/turn-long-sleeves-into-flutter-sleeves.html">flutter sleeves</a>. I also added a faux placket and some buttons to the front for visual interest and flared out the bottom of the shirt. All very easy changes. </span></div>

They have a flat front with elastic in the back, with an optional drawstring front. The piping detail in the back really helps the contrast in the fabrics pop. And don't be scared of piping, it's actually very easy to sew.

After downloading your pattern, you will print out the pattern itself, creating pattern tiles, if you will. Simply tape the tiles together to create the full pattern! At that point you can cut out the size that you need and pin the paper pattern directly to your fabric, or you can trace the pattern size that you need onto sewing paper or tracing paper and cut it out, saving the paper pattern for later when you need to sew another size. PDF patterns are so convenient because you can print them out as many times as you need!</span></div>

<br />
So my little girl needs some shirts for spring and summer. So I created this adorable top with the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/151235064/streamline-tee-pattern-6m-12m-18m-24m-2t?ref=shop_home_active_6">streamline tee pattern</a>. First I took the front pattern piece and extended the shoulder area. I measured 3 inches down from the armpit and then 3 inches over at a 45 degree angle. Then I drew a new line from the neck to the new armpit line.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next I took the sleeve piece and measured 1 ½ inches down from the armpit. Then I drew a line that curved up towards the neck. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I just cut out all my pattern pieces from the fabric. If you decide to do something fun with the front of the shirt like <a href="http://www.danamadeit.com/2008/07/tutorial-freezer-paper-stencil-makenna-loves-goldfish.html">freezer paper stenciling</a>, here is a good spot to do that. It gives you a chance to add something unique to the shirt. Anyways, now go ahead and sew a straight line along the shoulder seams of the front shirt piece with a long straight stitch. Pull one thread and gather the shoulders. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Take the sleeve pieces and match the gathers to fit. Make sure not to stretch out the sleeve pieces when measuring. Now go ahead and sew up the rest of the shirt according to the directions. All except hemming the sleeves. I used a smaller ½ inch hem for those. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And now you have a great Spring/Summer shirt for your girl! I made mine to go with her new <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/182659598/long-beach-board-shorts-pattern-boys?ref=shop_home_active_1">Long Beach Board shorts</a> I made her. Now if only the weather would cooperate! </div>

Make sure not to stretch the fabric. The sleeves have a front and back also, so don't forget to place them on the bodice correctly. Using a stretch stitch, sew the sleeve to the bodice. You can finish the edges, however it's not necessary. And then repeat for the other side. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So today we're sewing the neckline together. Start by taking your ruffles that you hemmed and gathered yesterday and place them on top of each other, right sides facing up. Fit the ruffles to the front neckline and baste in place. Try not to stretch out the neckline. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now take your smaller binding piece and place it with the right side facing the wrong side of the shirt, and stitch in place with a stretch stitch. You will be sewing the flat part of the binding, not the folded edge.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then fold the binding over to the right side and tuck the seam allowance into the folded edge. Pin it in place covering any stitching. And then, using a stretch stitch, sew it in place. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now we'll be adding the binding to the back neckline. It's kind of a weird shaped piece, I find the easiest thing while sewing is to pin the binding in place first, and really stretch it when sewing around the sharp curve. It really helps it hug that curve when you fold it over. So, go ahead and stitch the larger binding piece to the back neckline, right side facing the wrong side of the bodice. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then fold the binding over to the right side and tuck the seam allowance into the folded edge. Pin the binding in place covering any stitching. And then sew in place. Any puckering can be fixed with a hot iron. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now here comes the tricky part. Place the front bodice wrong sides together at the shoulder seam with the back bodice. The front bodice piece should be 1/8" from the edge. Stitch in place. If you go really slow you should be able to stitch directly on top of your previous stitching. I did not... Lol. </span></div>

Today we're going to be prepping the ruffles and binding. So go ahead and turn on your iron and grab those binding strips. First you will fold the binding in half lengthwise and iron flat. Right sides out.</div>

Then open the binding up and fold the lower portion up to meet the fold. I don't place it directly on top of the fold, I place it about 1/8" from the fold. And iron flat. Don't iron over the previous fold. </div>

Next we're going to prepare our ruffles. This will be a little out of sequence with the pattern, but it will all work :). If you are making the dress version, take your bottom ruffle strips and sew the sides together. Finish the edges. </div>

Now hem all of your ruffle strips. This is for the shirt as well as the dress. I'm using ribbon, so I actually don't need to hem my ruffle strips. There is two hem options, choose which one works for you. </div>

Next we'll gather the ruffles. So set your machine to the longest stitch and sew a straight line along the top of the ruffle. Grab one thread and gather the pieces. There is no preset measurement that they need to be at, at this point. When you attach them you will gather to fit. This is just to get them ready, there will still be some adjusting later. </div>

For my second ruffle I added a piece of knit to it so that it will be longer than the top ruffle. I've probably added a little too much, but I'll figure that out later when I go to attach it. And that's it for today! Tomorrow we'll sew the neckline!</div>

I'm using ribbon for my ruffles, so I've actually cut an extra piece to sew the lower ruffle to so that it'll longer than the top piece. I've also cut my binding pieces for the neck longer because the fabric I'm using doesn't have a great deal of stretch. And that's it! Tomorrow we'll prep our ruffle pieces and binding pieces. </div>

Chinese Takeout Gift box:<br />
<br />
I absolutely love these little containers for small gifts. You can make them any color you want and decorate them like crazy! I didn't do very much with this one but the possibilities are endless.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVgYu4uJJ6iVW_TcZb1w2uwOqQZYs9aJse75a6AQzAb2hxHCyfryoTRwkJq1vu72YK79jf66Xhn2bkdy11JcqkwUz2yXzQ5T-0ZNcRTuAl8vY0HKRLDWGQD-n_2SRhCfE0UO7RTfxGWNe1/s1600/100_2258.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVgYu4uJJ6iVW_TcZb1w2uwOqQZYs9aJse75a6AQzAb2hxHCyfryoTRwkJq1vu72YK79jf66Xhn2bkdy11JcqkwUz2yXzQ5T-0ZNcRTuAl8vY0HKRLDWGQD-n_2SRhCfE0UO7RTfxGWNe1/s320/100_2258.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
You will need:<br />
1 poster board<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/EK-Success-Pink-Bone-Folder/dp/B002PIFUJ6" target="_blank">bone folder</a><br />
glue<br />
ribbon<br />
hole punch <br />
anything else you'd like to use to decorate it with<br />
<a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wql2xl9yltto0ix">pattern</a> (click to download)<br />
<br />
Print and assemble pattern template. One of the pages you'll need two copies of because both sides of the box are identical. Place template on poster board, anchor with weights and trace around it. I used brown paper for my template and testors model paint for weights. (At least they're being used for something).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3-KeaeUvhX0n-N-NC2Fe-WH8KDZ6_CtDr_yh0xtrAGtYpZaRk_VUJhIiuUO5PwD6PT9IiqIhTDiMWobdvqYrDXnvopD-u8PM3YD9C8IdCHnCe-yc9h5uU02XlXub0vqNtNfccKAv2Ou1-/s1600/100_2252.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3-KeaeUvhX0n-N-NC2Fe-WH8KDZ6_CtDr_yh0xtrAGtYpZaRk_VUJhIiuUO5PwD6PT9IiqIhTDiMWobdvqYrDXnvopD-u8PM3YD9C8IdCHnCe-yc9h5uU02XlXub0vqNtNfccKAv2Ou1-/s320/100_2252.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Your template should look something like this with four sides joined to the box in the center.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIJ7y9PY2-eklqPTrKTvKnoo2KgIWwmNIN5TRVExq_9PjjjshFSETXUSzH1HmtFdKz5Comq0ssiaG0y7vrjdNDWRs3gBMu2x-JSgF_7XqZ-fX4XRgScwONz_RZLf6aTF5j1pj2dqms7c7Z/s1600/100_2250.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIJ7y9PY2-eklqPTrKTvKnoo2KgIWwmNIN5TRVExq_9PjjjshFSETXUSzH1HmtFdKz5Comq0ssiaG0y7vrjdNDWRs3gBMu2x-JSgF_7XqZ-fX4XRgScwONz_RZLf6aTF5j1pj2dqms7c7Z/s320/100_2250.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
With careful precision cut out gift box. And now you'll have this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuLXN_QPYOXyxDedpZ2ILGmqQPsOSzTufWjJGVAcwgJSsyyAxCV1xDkxAPEujHNuHx8ZZlou0pwXP9LRnwnJII3xiUCmh8KdemB5i7zCLzGsVpgLZujw52UKGnuaPxy_7BrFBe3reXTYzs/s1600/100_2253.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuLXN_QPYOXyxDedpZ2ILGmqQPsOSzTufWjJGVAcwgJSsyyAxCV1xDkxAPEujHNuHx8ZZlou0pwXP9LRnwnJII3xiUCmh8KdemB5i7zCLzGsVpgLZujw52UKGnuaPxy_7BrFBe3reXTYzs/s320/100_2253.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's where the fun begins. Using a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/EK-Success-Pink-Bone-Folder/dp/B002PIFUJ6" target="_blank">bone folder</a> (or anything you can get your hands on. I used a ruler and a flat head screw driver) create perfect creases in the areas marked with dotted lines. This really makes a difference giving your box crisp clean lines.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieib6hG46BX09FEE4Y5mCffGfWMqcEPntwEWd10nwHIL3QcJQtkirxKygJGdN5gFAG7Tp5kExHsHCR7NSu-SFqrQLHQkARN8lE2kQkpXByjycpFy8YaKuL8_FrNNECI3x8BSbrclphydGG/s1600/100_2255.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieib6hG46BX09FEE4Y5mCffGfWMqcEPntwEWd10nwHIL3QcJQtkirxKygJGdN5gFAG7Tp5kExHsHCR7NSu-SFqrQLHQkARN8lE2kQkpXByjycpFy8YaKuL8_FrNNECI3x8BSbrclphydGG/s320/100_2255.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Using your hole punch, place strap holes in the center of the side pieces. Don't try to do this part later you'll hate yourself (Trust me I know). Now fold your box together and glue sides. I kept the flaps on the outside because it appeared more authentic to me, but its your preference. Place ribbon through the hole you punched on each side and knot. Now its time to decorate. Have fun!<br />

I just laughed and then proceeded to spend hours scouring the internet for costumes. What do you know, no costumes. So now I realize I'm going to have to make them. Ugh. After much trial and error, I finally have a working pattern for the moose head. <br />

A few tips on when you make your own pattern. Always be sure to try the pattern out with scrap fabric first just to make sure you have all the kinks worked out.<br />

For the squirrel head I was lucky enough to find a dog costume that I could redo. Not that the body would work, but I was able to redesign the head so I didn't have to make the entire thing from scratch. Here's the <a href="http://www.theprimroselane.com/items/item.aspx?itemid=9603316" target="_blank">squirrel costume</a> I found. <br />
As for the bodies I wanted to take the easy route, I used a McCalls <a href="http://mccallpattern.mccall.com/m6185-products-11300.php?page_id=494=" target="_blank">dragon costume</a> pattern. I didn't need to use the tail, spikes or claws and on the squirrel I redesigned the feet so they would be smaller. Overall I wasn't very happy with the pattern because I felt it ran much larger in size. I ended up having to take both costumes in and I still felt they were too large. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5Rzeh6mUkS9kS4XYnetXHlNYvUE3Af5m5IBtilyo6IawxUaDC3eh5B7px9_t7ykKAECgEHYzUhBUht73yqzAhsdGSOY-bLlBvYeDVUMIoupPOfQsoXlnyMdqDhdcPG1_sbN7k0UT9MgM1/s1600/100_2221.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5Rzeh6mUkS9kS4XYnetXHlNYvUE3Af5m5IBtilyo6IawxUaDC3eh5B7px9_t7ykKAECgEHYzUhBUht73yqzAhsdGSOY-bLlBvYeDVUMIoupPOfQsoXlnyMdqDhdcPG1_sbN7k0UT9MgM1/s320/100_2221.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>(Cutting the fur fabric turned out to be very messy and a bit of a pain. I would definitely recommend using sharp scissors to cut it.)<br />
While I was looking around <a href="http://www.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy</a> one day I ran across a shop that had the perfect eyes for this project.
