But, I finished and wore this cute little shirt pattern of Marcy Tilton's today. And, I am in love.
I had intended to make up this great linen from Marcy's web site for my Portugal trip, as it blends with my navy linen J Jill crops very well. Oh well, Portugal was way too cool this year for this top anyway.
The top has just a hint of a cap sleeve and just a hint of a boat neck, without falling off your shoulders and just the right amount of slouch/attitude! Not to mention the great pocket in the front. This linen is on the thinner, blouse weight side and has just perfect drape-ability for the lower front and back bands (it's not a peplum).
And, the instructions include just a little bit of hand sewing to hide the bias binding, which I love.
My favourite summer top, so far. Happy sewing!
Very nice. When you wear it, take a picture. Would love to see how the pants and top go together- how much does the top cover the pants.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog. And love what you sew.
