Fun, easy make
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.
