A super easy Built by Wendy top that I sewed up this morning. It was the fastest article of clothing I’ve ever made, how refreshing! Now back to the unfinished projects in my closet. Anyway, really happy with how it turned out, love the fabric!
cotton from Purl Patchwork, my favorite.

Hmm, I don’t think I meant “over your head,” I think I meant, “past your shoulders.” Whoops.

I really like your shirt. It doesn’t look like its from a stretch knit… If not, how do you get it over your head? Does it have a tie in the back or something? (heh heh heh I’m hoping to make my own pattern) I have a lot of cotton shirtings lying around, providing a constant reminder that I am too busy with school to do the complicated projects I’d like to do!

I went to Purl yesterday! So awesome. I love how the store is tidy and well-lighted, so it’s easy to “think and decide” if it’s not crowded. Their selection is so dreamy. I thought the price was pretty moderate too, surprisingly. Wish I could sew cute clothes like you with their fabric! I’m going to make cushion covers and curtains haha…

I’ve had this pattern for over a year waiting for me to use it. I think i may have to put everything else aside today and whip one up for my citizenship ceremony tonight! Love the fabric, it’s one of my favourites. :)
