New Look 6809 #2
Since I was making a dress for my cousin Freya I thought I’d better make a top for my sister-in-law. Donna accompanied me on a search through the stash and chose some Spotlight cotton voile and selected view D of the same pattern.
It’s modelled on me because by the time I’d made it Donna and Ross had returned to Cairns. Donna is taller and slimmer than me, so I made size 10 for her. I’m definitely better in the size 12.
Once again, this was made exactly as the pattern dictated, with no alterations. I love this fabric but the style combination will be much better on Donna than me. Next job is to make Freya’s dress!
ohhh I love that pattern! I think that size is perfect on you! might have to keep my eyes peeled for that pattern, I could see myself wearing it a lot!

That’s really cute, and I think I may even have that same fabric somewhere in the stash.
Lovely happy colours!
Wow you have been busy with all your sewing of late. Love the top and fabric.
That fabric is great! I think she’ll love how it came out.

ooo I like this one. Love the sleeves in particular.
I love your tops so much I just checked out the pattern and you mighta heard me swearing. I need an 18, or maybe even a 20 and it stops at 16. not fair not fair…..still it wouldn’t be difficult to upscale, so I might just buy it anyway. phooey. but lovely inspiration, thanks.
I really love this version. And the fabric just makes it so happy!
