A Little Autumn Sunshine

I love the autumn, it may just be my favorite season. Apple picking, refreshing cool days and turning leaves are high on the list of life's little joys for me.  What I don't like is leaving behind the bright and cheery colors of spring and summer, especially on my little one.  So I made this sunny top to bridge the summer weather into the fall.  It's great layered with a tee underneath, and looks just as good on it's own for the warm days or with a long sleeve underneath as the days get cooler.  The pattern is based loosely on an existing pattern for a dress. I shortened the bodice pieces and added ruffled "skirt" to be the length I wanted for the top.  Easy!  The best part, she loves this top and actually took off her shirt the other day and asked to exchange it for this one, yea!
