And a top to match!

I made a top to match the button skirt, using Butterick 4118.

Rather than turning the fabric under to make a self casing for the elastic around the sleeve and neck edges, I used some of the myriad of floral bias binding that I made a couple of weeks ago, and applied it to the outside of the fabric.

I used the same triple zig-zag stitch along the hem of the top as used on the hem of the skirt.  It was a super-quick top to make, will be nice and cool for summer, and she likes it!  And it’s not pink!
