I finished the top started here--it's Simplicity 4589. I wanted it a little longer and so lengthened the pattern some...also had a bit of trouble lining up the notches around the neck, but I did some fudging and it seems to have worked out o.k.
Next up, a couple Spring skirts, and I'm hoping to have them finished by Easter ~ can you believe Easter is only 10 days away?
I love the shirt and the fabric. So very springy!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine getting two skirts done by Easter with only 10 days to go.You are a wonder.I was fortunate enough to find a pair of springy pants in a fabric very similar to your top.(No branches in my print)It has a short sleeve jacket with 3 large buttons.This will have to do as my new spring outfit.Maybe when I'm no longer working I'll be able to tackle the sewing machine with more detailed projects.You keep me inspired.
ReplyDeleteAdorable top! Great job as always.
ReplyDeleteDeb,
ReplyDeleteNo, I can not believe it! The top looks really pretty!
Thanks for sharing :-)

Very cute! What pattern do you use for skirts?
ReplyDeleteI am making my grandaughter a dress. I am so excited. I love this shirt. It will go with anything.
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely :)
ReplyDeleteWill we get to see it on you? It looks very cute.
ReplyDeletevery nice design and I love the pattern of the fabric, makes the top looks so spring'y :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty - and it looks just like spring. I know - ten days!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the shirt! I am enjoying some spring sewing myself. Unfortunately the weather isn't cooperating...we are expecting a heavy frost in a couple of days!
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented. Love seeing your creations!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty fabric!!! You have me itching to sew something...
ReplyDeleteI love that fabric!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I'm always lengthening shirts. I often find shirts to be much too short for my liking!
ReplyDeleteI love that pattern and the material you chose is perfect!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spring print. Looks so comfy and has a simple elegance. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteWell done Deb! another lovely top I love the colours just right for spring. Also glad you are enjoying Jane Brockets book, it's a wonderful read.
ReplyDeleteoh, I just love that.
ReplyDeleteOH, I love it! You did a fantastic job with it Deb!!!! :) Best of luck on the skirts! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your top, very pretty. And why is it notches seldom match up???
ReplyDeleteLove your top!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job!
Fabric is so very pretty!
Cheers! Mary Ann
I was lucky enough to grab the last pattern in my size at Walmart yesterday. Can't wait to find some pretty fabric to sew it up.
ReplyDeleteThats lovely! I have just bought some fabric for a top. Not as pretty as that.
ReplyDeleteOOH I just LOVE that! it's so cute!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'm having a give-away over at my place, if you're interested!
Your fabric is beautiful, and you did such a nice job on the top. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that??? Really, Deb, no kiddin' around...do you think a beginner could do something like that? I love it!
ReplyDeleteI have just discovered your blog, it's beautiful...
ReplyDeleteTurned out very nice! I have a pattern very similar to that one that was a Simplicity pattern also. It was on the short side as well. I wounder why they do that?! I may get the one you have and give it a try, I like how yours came out.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your posts...this one takes me back...I think I remember a very similar pattern back in the 70's. Loved it then...Love it now...your work is lovely! Hope you'll come over and visit my new blog and give-away.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Isn't sewing so satisfying?
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful! Actually, never would have guessed it from looking at the pattern - yours is much much prettier than the one in the pattern photos.
ReplyDeleteI love that top and the fabric you used is perfect for it.
ReplyDeleteI really like the style of this top. Makes me want to sew one for myself. Thank you for sharing the pattern number, Deb.
ReplyDeleteJody (who likes everything you do!)
Totally love the feminine look of that blouse and the fabric is amazing for spring! Alana
ReplyDeleteSuper cute shirt!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Deb,
ReplyDeleteI discovered your blog through my sister Bev at GRITS. I bought the pattern and made this blouse and it came out really cute, but boy, it was something else to figure out the neck band. Yours is adorable too - it's a very sweet summer blouse.
