While at Sewjourn last month (it seems a lifetime ago!) I made a couple of tops from Simplicity 3790.
This is view D, with a small FBA. The fabric was a remnant – I think from hRathdowne Fabrics – and this was really just a toile. Then I made it up in some gorgeous Modal I bought through Crafty Mamas.
This fabric is extremely soft and drapey. And unfortunately, I learned the hard way that it should be pre-washed before making. I wore it once, washed it, and now it has shorter sleeves and a shorter body. Luckily I’ve got lots more of it and shall probably just add a band to the bottom and the sleeves – once it’s pre-washed!
I’ve worn the spotted version a few times to work. It’s a very comfortable style but dressy enough for the workplace in this silky fabric.
I was very over modelling my Sewjourn creations by the time this photo was taken!
