Just as I have finished making the first addition to my SS13 wardrobe, the weather has regressed to winter. I think it'll be a while before I'll be wearing this Liberty-print shell top.
The pattern is from a Japanese sewing book I bought recently, Simple Modern Sewing by Shufu To Seikatsu Sha, which I'm very pleased with. I've attempted sewing in the past but never really graduated beyond 'beginner' level - I've made quite a few bags and cushion covers, even a wrap skirt and a sun-top, but I've never really got beyond the basics. This book, however, might just get me into the intermediate class. It's a selection of simple patterns that form the basis of a range of garments - this top, for example, is adapted from a dress pattern. The Japanese styling is cool and cute as well.
I'm looking forward to having a go at some of the more complicated patterns - I might even learn how to insert a zip! But I won't be wearing anything from this book yet - for the time being I'm stuck with AW12.
The top looks great, Sara! And the pattern is exactly how you described it to me! x
