The Izzy Top and my first ever blog!

Today's crafty adventure was an upcycle of a pillowcase thrifted for just one dollar! 

 
 
It came as a set of two so make sure you check back to see what becomes of the other.  For this upcycle I used a great FREE pattern from Climbing the Willow called The Izzy Top . It has a huge range of sizes from 18 months up to 12 years.

There wasn't quite enough material in the pillowcase to get an entire top, however I was lucky enough to dig up some navy and cream from my ever growing remnants pile to finish off the bodice.

The instructions that come with The Izzy Top are really thorough. Lots of pictures to walk you through step by step, super beginner friendly which is great for me!

I  made the size 3 today for my Pixie. She put it on as soon as it came off the machine and as you can see is a wee bit pleased with her new pretties.

 
 
Super cute and comes together really fast. Will definitely be making more of these!
