Originally I was going to make this top for Will. It's been a while since Will has had something made for him. When I was showing Will the fabric, Mollie piped up that she wanted one too. 
The pattern is Farbenmix Hilde. I really like Hilde. The cut of the top is quite straight, so it works well for boys or girls. It also has lots of potential for mixing up fabrics.
The main fabric is "vintage" robot knit from Sewzanne's Fabrics. I've also used Stella cotton/spandex knit in Indigo and blood red.
I used my coverstitch machine to do topstitching. It was a bit tricky to get it just right since the right side of the fabric was facing down. Overall I was happy with the results.

Love the topstitching (wish you could flip an coverlock over).
Your kdis are so cute - very happy!
Love the coverstitching!! They are awesome Sara!!
I wasn't so keen on those fabric colours when I first saw it but you have just shown me how wrong I could be. The panels and topstitching really bring it to life! that pattern is now on my list to acquire.
These are fabulous Sara - I lvoe that they wanted to match too - cute!
cute shirts, and I love robots, probably even more than my boys LOL!
