I remember the 80’s well, as I spent my most awkward years during the extra large bangs, neon and bleached dyed jeans era.
As most of us girls that grew up during that era can attest, if you were to drop a lit match on the floor of the bathroom, the whole place would ignite from the build up of hairspray. The bangs practically had their own zip code.
This top is a bit of a throw-back to that time of neon infused clothes. Much better styling and hair, though. It is actually neon green, but didn’t photograph very well. The time of inside pictures is upon us, as cold weather is descending.
This was a fun outfit to make, and apparently a winner for 6th grade. She got asked where she got it from, which must have been a new kid in her class. Pretty sure most of the girls know that I have made all of her awesome clothes since kindergarten. 😉
The top is one that I have drafted for her. It is a slim knit top. I grabbed the hood off the Nivalis pattern by Sofilantjes, and added thumbhole cuffs. I basically used this tutorial for making the cuffs.
The pants are the Domi Sweatpants by Sofilantjes, only without pockets and the cording. Keeping it simple. The fabric was a velvet knit with hearts embossed in it.
Pretty happy with this one!
