This my version of Lydia. I gave it a low v-neck and lengthened by about 15cm. Had a bit of trouble with the sleeves as they were much too tight for me but have widened by abut 5cm and gathered in the top to fit. Again the fabric was found in a charity shop All in all I am very happy with the end result and will be hunting around for some thing special to make another one in.
Some sort of ribbed cotton.

Another great creation by Bell! The Lydia pattern is fantastic, and this would look great with a wide belt! :)
