Sewing

 This is a top that I made, oh it seems ages ago now, at the beginning of the summer when it was getting quite hot. It's made from the fabric I bought at the market (even longer ago!). It was a very simple pattern and took just an afternoon. Based on this great post, I used a well-fitting t-shirt (1) as a base pattern, making it a little more boxy and shorter (2). I then made a loop closure at the back of the neck and added simple sleeves (3) - they are my favourite thing about the top, as I usually have real trouble putting sleeves in and make a bit of a balls of it. And there we are! I've worn it a lot this summer, it was really great and airy on hot, sticky days. Next - a dress, on a similar line, perhaps?
