Description

When a friend of mine was going through the contents of a house she had bought, she discovered that the previous owner sewed like me. There was an old Singer machine from the 70’s, beautiful yards of 100% silk, and gorgeous vintage prints. And in the boxes of fabric my friend generously gave me I found this awesome print! I had been looking at the Kasia skirt for some time and decided that this was a perfect match! Unfortunately, this is the only top I have that matches!

    Very pretty! I’m sure you’ll stun us with a matching top of some kind, eventually! I love the print, bright colors do well on you! Keep it up!

    Now that you’ve got a skirt, you’ll make/buy the matching tops to combine them with it. Kasia model really suits you. And, you’re so lucky to have a generous friend.
