Description

A friend of mine who works at a clothing company was having a clearout at her offices and gave me lots of pieces of sample fabric. Their bulk fabric samples from their Spring/Summer ‘09 collection are now forming the basis of my S/S ’09 sewing!
The pattern is from the Burda WOF magazine (07/2008 I think). It came out a bit too big, but I think it looks ok with skinny jeans, plus I’m too lazy to unpick. I added a front ruffle/bib to accentuate the curved yolk. It’s also got in-seam pockets, but the instructions were a bit hazy, so I used to Burdastyle How-To to clarify the situation.

Material Notes

Printed cotton, contrast plain cotton as I didn’t have enough printed fabric to line the yolk or make the pocket bags.

    You look wonderful, I agree with pp, the fit looks good as well as the color, your hair, makeup……. very pretty. I made this top also, but it pulls too tightly at my underarms, I’m going to make it again in a size larger.

    I don´t think it´s too big (at least not in the picture)! Very pretty! And I dig your hair and make-up!

    It doesn’t look too big it looks just right! The shape is perfect and you can’t beat free fabric! The ruffle is the perfect finishing touch for the yoke. Great job.

    Hey, this is really nice. I love the fabric and the style. It suits you. Green is my favorite colour.
