Sewing for Tweens

Amelia and Grace are in that stage where they are too big for most children's sewing patterns (or they are completely not their style) and being a little too small for adult patterns, but we have found a couple of patterns that they love. 

Grace is not big on dresses or skirts so I don't make lots of her clothes at the moment, but she did say yes to the Ogden Cami and she has worn it several times! Win! I made the smallest size and it is perfect. The only alteration I made was to make the front rounded and higher. 

Milly wanted an off the shoulder dress. I went with the Daphne dress from made by Mermaids. I think I made the biggest size and measured the elastic on her to get the best fit. She loves it. I used rayon from Spotlight (I used it for the Cami too) so is is cool in the hot weather and it has a nice drape.

I recommend both patterns and the girls have already picked out more rayon for another Ogden Cami each.
