Beautiful curved hem
Optional removable bow with snaps

NOTE: This pattern was formerly the Bowlittle by George and Ginger. The drafting is nearly identical for the original sizes 2T-14 (baby sizes 6-12m to 12-18m now added!!) in low back/regular fit. I have added relaxed fit and high back options. Those who purchased the original George and Ginger pattern can get a 40% discount on the new version – just find the last word on page 20 of the original tutorial, and enter the word in the discount code field at checkout – all in UPPERCASE letters, with no spaces. Please note, this code will not work if the pattern is already on sale.

I sewed this one before the update and my kiddo complained about the bow in her car seat. Making it removable negates that concern. I also made an oops when I cut and had to add a snap placket. It worked out and is one of her favourite shirts.

Love this pattern! I’ve made it twice for my twin granddaughters. I especially like the option of a large or small bow and the ability to change bows by using snaps.

I made the Little Bow Pea for my granddaughter, she loves it and it looks so cute on her. I'll be making her the sleeveless version this summer.
