This
little tunic top was made for a friend’s daughter who has the rather beautiful name
Seren, which may be familiar to the Welsh among you as meaning ‘star’ so, naturally,
it had to be a star themed dress!
Using the same pattern as the Ahoy top I
choose a lovely red fabric with white stars and then put it with a matching plain
red lining.

| My little star themed dress |
I was
tempted to go white or red for the buttons but thought that actually the matte brown
buttons looked nice and almost gave a vintage feel rather than the shiny plastic
buttons that I normally use.
I used
an appliqué technique on my sewing machine to apply a white star and then
another red star on top on the front. I think this makes a nice focal point as
well as really bringing the star theme to life.
These
tops are great because they can be worn as a dress with tights or when the
little one grows they are more like a tunic top and go nicely with leggings. I am
really happy with the result and am pleased to report that Seren looked exceptionally
cute in it!
