Free pattern: Mitchiri Neko cat shirt for little girls

Kat from Sew Chibi shares a free pattern at the Sewing Rabbit for making a Mitchiri Neko shirt. I didn’t know what Mitchiri Neko was until I read her post. (Hint: Think of those cute cat emoticons everyone is sharing…) Her free pattern makes a little girls cropped shirt with the cutest little cat face on the front and buttons down the sides. The neck is embellished with ruffles, and there are little poofs inserted into the shoulder seams. She made the front and the back from different fabrics. Her free pattern comes in little girls sizes 12 months – 5T. And while you’re reading the post, check out the coordinating skirt she made. I am LOVING how she bound the hem with a neon pink organza!
