I had some fabric left from my own vest, so I made this for Frida a few days ago, and she absolutely loves it – though I think she would have liked the ballerina in front where she could see it.
I sketched the ballerina from a picture on the internet, and sewed it on with a short straight stitch. That way it will fray slightly on the outside of the stitches, but that will be part of the “look”. I used the same technique for my matryoshka appliqué, and that worked just fine – actually that blouse has been in use for a year now.
The pattern is #7 from Ottobre 6/2009, and I shortened it a bit to make it give it more of a girly shape. Still considering whether to add a tie in front – it might work well even if it’s fine the way it is.

This is so cute!
Sikke en fin vest! Applikationen er rigtig fin, det er flot når man syr den fast med en “ligeud-søm” fremfor en tyk zigzag.
That is just adorable.
Hvor er den kær.
jeg kan også godt lide at sy med lige tråd på applikationerne. Det giver en lethed/elegance til mange applikationer.
God påske
Her hair is getting much longer, it’s so cute! She looks content in her vest too. =)
She looks so grown up, and so lovely. After I saw your adult’s version I started making this pattern too, but in fleece. I’ve had to leave it for a while, but Frida’s has inspired me to get back at it.
Thanks all – the vest is still a favourite!
