Getting a jump on spring

So I've been sewing up my oldest fabrics while managing the Fabric Stash contest on PR, and almost everything I have is lightweight and in spring prints and colors.  Ah well, we'll all get some of our spring clothes early this year!

So here is DD's new top, from McCall's 6389.  Very cute pattern, though the sleeves are too puffy for my taste.  It's a good pattern overall, lots of nice details; I love the shaped hem and princess seams.


I really like the ruffles on the front, though you can't see them well in the pictures.  I tried to add some fun to the top with the ladybug buttons and contrasting bumblee print on the inner collar.  


So, it feels like spring early in our house!  Next up, a floral ruffly top for myself, another early spring top. :)
