In the few days we were home, I was able to get a few projects completed. I make clothes for Lucy all the time, but I have made only a couple of skirts and pajama pants for myself. I have decided to start making more of my own clothes. I mean, I have the ability, so why not? The other day I picked up several new patterns. My favorite was Simplicity 2593 by Cynthia Rowley. The same day I picked up the patterns, the gingham was on sale 50% off. And I love gingham. So here is my completed top...
For the neckline, you basically have a tube of fabric that you twist and place how you want and stitch it to the tank shell. I have to admit, that part was a lot of fun. Here is a detail of the front of the neckline...
And the back...
I have already worn this top and I love it! It is so comfortable and even after packing, the top didn't wrinkle! I was surprised because it is 100% cotton.

I will have to share the other projects once I am back home in a few days. I will also have a few more by then because I have to make a few things for our family reunion auction. Stay tuned!

I have that pattern as well and its at the top of the pile. Would you say this pattern has alot of ease? Or is it true to size?
I love the gingham you picked out. I have some chocolate gingham in my stash, maybe I'll have to try this shirt with it!
