11/05 outfit and a New Look top

Hi everyone! I'm only working part-time at the moment so I can dress casually every two day. Hence today's simple outfit: I made the top 2 years ago using pattern "C" from the Stylish Dress Book, the fabric is purple cotton veil but I've worn it so often that the colour has faded a little :( I bought the shorts last year and have been wearing them a lot too!


I also wanted to show you the New Look 6808 top I made. The fabric is Robert Kaufman's Happy Days in Confetti and what can I say, it was a pleasure to sew! I narrowed the width of the collar a little, taking in about 1/2" and I didn't use fusible interfacing as I didn't want it to be too stiff. It's just lined with white polycotton -what would my life be like without polycotton^^?! I'll certainly wear it tomorrow so it can be added to the Me-made May wardrobe :) See you!
