I finished this top in early summer and have been wearing it A LOT. It’s very comfy and fits well and is flattering. I used the same pattern as this top, which is turning out to be a great basic shell for me to work with. Instead of the button closure in the back, I made a small keyhole opening at the front neckline and bound it with skinny yellow bias binding left long as ties—although I always wear it open. The armholes are faced with this yellow binding as well. And I love the fabric! Even though quilt-weight cottons are not the best choice for apparel, I’ve got so much of it I figure it makes sense to use it while I’m still testing the waters sewing for myself. I’ve got another version of this cut out of Liberty which I must try my hardest to finish while the weather is still warm!
We are headed to do some camping at the beach for 5 days. Until then…
