Pinwheels for Anna Bella







This sweet little top is from Kari Mecca's pre-day class at Martha Pullen's School of Art Fashion. I just love the pinwheel toy embellishments with twisted rickrack and the little rickrack daisies. It has little blue linen capri's to go with it, but because I changed some of the trims, they are not quite finished yet. This was a really fun class and I love Kari's techniques for embellishment. There is also whimsy ribbon trim and twisted rickrack along the yoke under the pinwheels. Anna won't be able to wear it for another year at least, but it will be so much cuter with her in it!!
