Yep, Selfish sewing week was last week and I am a bit late posting but I didn't finish up this top untill this morning. It's the one of the newer pattern lines that Oliver + S is carrying now, the In House pattern company. I have been hording this fabric ( Palso Verde Voile Wayfarers in Shell from Cloud 9) since I got it and had been looking for the perfect top pattern for it. I wanted something with longer sleeves for the cooler evenings and mornings we have here in spring to early summer and I wanted something with little lines as not to brake the pattern up too much. When I seen this pattern I knew it was the one!
I love the A line shape of this top, lose fitting that's perfect for the warmer weather that we are having finally. I placed the fabric on yoke sideways for fun but it's really hard to see in photo. I also have the sleeve cuffs with "stripes" on them too.
Over all I really enjoyed this pattern. I would say it's quick and easy to sew. Perfect for any beginners. The instructions were clear and to the point. I would really recommend this pattern to anyone!
I hope you ladies had a great Selfish Sewing week like me!

Perfect pattern choice for your fabric, Sharon!

DeleteLove this Sharon. I agree with Justine the perfect choice of fabric. I did absolutely nothing for Selfish Sewing week, so darn lazy.
ReplyDeletethank you, this was the first time around that I have sewn along, it felt pretty goo too. ; )
