Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This shirt is a combination of two patterns I have used before. Simplicity 2652 provided the base, but it would have been way too wide for a simple shirt, so I brought in all the darts from my favourite pattern, McCalls 5929. The print on the fabric is actually all little hearts. That look was a little too cutsey for me, so I cut out the pieces with the fabric up-side down. You can read more about this project on my blog, Experiments and Accidents

This blouse is gorgeous and it looks great on you! Cool idea to take the fabric upside down, I’ll think of that when I have a similar fabric!

This is a lovely top and what a brilliant idea to tip the hearts upside down!!! The buttons look great too and gives your top a whole new look. Not cutesy at all.
