Fun, easy make

Reviewed by HMSews on 2nd March, 2020

This was a pretty easy make.  I used quilting cotton that I bought about 12 years ago that I made into curtains for my daughter’s bedroom, now no longer needed.  I wanted to make a yellow top for a specific event (didn’t actually get it done in time, but oh well), so using fabric that I had already was a good choice.  I think this pattern is better suited to a more drapey fabric, but the quilting cotton works fine.  I would lengthen in a bit next time.  I love the sleeves, and the more structured fabric works well to keep them puffy.  The sleeves are in-set, but easy to do.  The gathered neckline was a bit tricky, but with patience was not actually hard.  I made a size 12 and my bust is  41in, waist is 35 in.  I have reasonably broad shoulders and it fits perfectly.  I would recommend this pattern if you are looking for a breezy, feminine top that has some nice details, but is not too complicated to make.
