When I made this top a couple of weeks ago it seemed crazy to be sewing something so summery. But since the first days of spring have brought such unusually wonderful weather (today was 26 degrees!) what was inappropriate last week is suddenly perfect. And that's how it goes in Melbourne, where we are often treated to four seasons' worth of weather in a week, or even in a day.
The pattern is dress A from Happy Homemade vol. 2 again, shortened. I love, love, love this Japanese lawn from Spotlight - it is soft, summery and doesn't need ironing. Now I just need to make some summery shorts and leggings to go with it...
It is a beautiful top. Summer is ending where I live but seeing all the beautiful summer clothes all over the world makes me wanting to keep making summer clothes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine. I felt the same when kids clothes week was on and everyone in the northern hemisphere was making their lovely summer clothes...
DeleteWow! I didn't know you lived in southern hemisphere! This top is so cute and the fabric looks so comfy. And your daughter is so adorable:)
