Here&#8217;s what she wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When I made this shirt back in 2011, my little girl and I had very different taste in style, <strong>very<\/strong> different. I liked her in dresses, skirts, blouses, and tailored shorts. She liked shorts and t-shirts and shorts and t-shirts only. I liked pretty florals, Liberty and small prints. She liked leopard skin, skulls, and black. There was constant discussion. Most times I persuaded her, sometimes the Threenager persuaded me. I tried really hard to make her things that she liked without encouraging her inner Goth.<\/p>\n<p>I had made her eldest brother a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/53315669@N07\/5580657465\/in\/set-72157625146561828\" target=\"_blank\">Nature Walk Pullover\u00a0 using some rugby knit<\/a> a lovely friend had sent me, and my girl had commented on how much she liked it. That was my cue. I used the Jump Rope\u2019s view A bodice, lengthened it by 4.5 inches (in hindsight I\u2019d add another inch or so), added view B\u2019s sleeves, and voila a girly rugby top! Nothing to it. I really recommend using lots and lots of pins when pinning the knit to the woven placket and collar and to sew slowly to avoid any tucks.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not black, there are no skulls and not a leopard in sight but she loved it. She and I are much more in tune these days although she nearly fainted when she saw some leopard skin and lace leggings at the shop the other day&#8230;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m ready to give it a try.
