Sis Boom, Ethan Shirt {2 little hooligans}


Christina, from 2 little hooligans, is here to give you her “Flipped Creation”
for the Sis Boom, Ethan Shirt.

*******************************************************************

Hi, I am Christina from 2 little hooligans and I am so excited to finally be able to share my creation with all of you. I will admit, I am super nervous to reveal what I made. Flipping patterns is not really my thing and I have had so many struggles along the way with this one. But in the end, I really like what I came up with. More importantly my little girl LOVES it and that is all that really matters.

As you can see I decided to turn the Ethan Shirt by Sis Boom into a dress for my little girl.

I had to make a lot of changes to the pattern in order to get a well fitting dress for my daughter. Starting with the shoulders I had to adjust the width as well as the armhole a few inches. I also made the back of the shirt under the yoke slightly gathered. I just added a few extra inches to the width of the pattern to allow for the extra gathering and then matched the gathered piece up to the altered yoke piece.

I think the gathering makes it look more feminine.

Then I did the same gathering technique to the front of the dress as well. Since there was no “yoke” piece for the front of the dress I just cut the front of the pattern where I wanted to gathering to be and then added in a little extra fabric for the seam allowance. I didn’t make any changes to the collar but should have made it a bit larger. It is too tight around my little girls neck and unfortunately I cannot snap it closed. I should also mention that I used snaps instead of buttons. I am just not a huge fan of buttons on my kids.

I made a little tie belt as well as added some belt loops to the dress.

I decided to make some flutter sleeves instead of the long sleeves so that my little girl could wear it now as well as into the cooler months. A cardigan layered over it will allow for wear throughout the seasons.

Surprisingly I did not adjust the length of the pattern at all. I happen to love the length of the dress and it even looks super cute with a pair of leggings or tights underneath it.

Christina, your flip is fantastic! All the changes you have made were totally worth the effort. The final result is girly, fun, the fit is great. You said it yourself – your girl loves it, is there a greater compliment?
