That turned out very good. I have been so disappointed in the quality of premade blouses this year. I may have to figure out what size I am and try using some of my stash to make a couple. That one certainly looks comfortable and cool. That's two things you have to have down here in the deep, steamy, hot South.

That is so cute the way you used the fabrics. I love making my tops too. But I don't wear sleeveless now. My arms are no where near toned and no one needs to see that. LOL I love this one piece pattern. I have made dozens of them for me and my DDs. I like using batik fabric for tops. I buy the wide backing. So super easy. They look so nice with pants. http://www.nancysnotions.com/product...tee+pattern.do

Thanks everyone. I plan on wearing it today when we hitch up the horses and head to town.......lol
We live about 25 miles from the nearest large city. So it's a running joke around here about going into
Bend and spend the day.

I love to sew clothes for myself, I should do it more often. I like making my own PJ's and house dresses especially.

Being a fast sewer comes from constantly having a deadline to meet regarding customers furniture and raising kids at the same time.....lol
