When I bought this Mermaid fabric from the
Kitschy Coo shop, it was for ME. So naturally, here it is on Myra...
Smug, isn't she?
Not really. This is actually the scraps left over from a project I shall soon reveal. Fortunately, there was just enough of this adorable Mermaid fabric for a half sleeve raglan tee. The white is a nice Chez Ami interlock.
The pattern is Ottobre 04/2013-12, which appears in several variations in the magazine. Other than shortening the sleeves, I made no changes to this one. It's a basic raglan with a breast pocket and bound neckline.
The pattern included this cute little ribbon detail at the neckline and I happened to have this perfect pink fish ribbon.
The pocket is just the right size for important things like Princess Twilight Sparkle's magic book. I love that the Mermaid fit perfectly there.
A straight cut raglan could have very easily veered over into "boy clothes", which Myra doesn't tolerate at the moment, but an injection of hot pink, Mermaids and cute ribbons definitely makes this all girl, and Myra loves it.
