making for me, again

Well, I have successfully carved out enough time to make this little top for myself. I really like it, except in my excitement to have a little time to myself, I forgot to line up the stripes on the material before I cut it out and, well, they don't match! You would think in all the years I have been sewing I would remember to do this, always. But I don't, obviously. Anyway. I will still wear it because it is really comfortable.

I used a cotton seersucker fabric that is so soft and cool. I am so glad that seersucker has come back in style! When I was a little girl my mom and grandma made lots of outfits for me out of seersucker. Love it.

 

This is the pattern that I used. The only hangup that I had was, there is a side zipper and for some reason, I had issues sewing it in. I think it was the weight of the material, how flimsy it was, but I eventually got it.

Well, off to cut out another pattern, for me! Smiles!

I thought I lost your blog address when I bought my new computer! I'm glad to be reading again. I hope all is well. I like your shirt and I'm going to make some of that tomato junk! Yum!

I'm far from being an expert sewing but visually I think the top is nicer because the stripes don't match. I think it is lovely and sweet.

That's a great little top. Love the Tomato Junk too!
