This is the pattern - Butterick 5956, view A.
And here's the finished top.
Those strawberries look good enough to eat - or they would if they didn't look so fuzzy!!
Knowing it's the autumnal equinox today, I remembered to look at the dashboard on my computer and took a screenshot of the shape the sun makes today. I always find it interesting that the edges are so straight at the equinoxes. I suppose equal day and night will make a straight line!
Fascinating stuff! :o)
Woo - it looks so lovely. Thank you, mama! You are a genius! Oh - I didn't realise it was the AO today! The nights are fair drawing in!!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. :o) The nights have been drawing in since mid-summer's day. It'll soon be dark at 4pm.Yuck!!
DeleteWhat a lovely top, I like the style of that. I've never thought about the shape the sun makes before.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo. Joanna needs to wear a camisole under the top as it's a bit low in the front. Isn't the shape of the sun's path fascinating?
DeleteOh, I love that blouse! Beautiful. As much as I love strawberries I haven't had any strawberry-decorated clothing since I was a child. Might have to change that soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer. Joanna chose (and bought) the fabric herself. It was a real pleasure to work with pure cotton after last week's fiasco with the plum trousers!
DeleteBeautiful pattern Anne, the strawberries must have been hard to line up. Have a great week xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chel. I didn't do any lining up of the strawberries - didn't think of it if I'm truthful! - so, if they match, that's a total fluke! :oD
DeleteLove that blouse and the fabric is so cute. (I do love strawberries and cream). I just caught up on few of your posts and thought you brave with the 'weird' fabric, as I'd probably not even tried to use it. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan. I'm not sure if I was brave or daft to use the "weird" fabric. If it had worked, it might have been brave but, as it didn't, maybe leaning more toward the daft side of the spectrum! LOL
DeleteWhat amazing clothes you make.. love that strawberry top.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chris. I do enjoy a bit of dressmaking! :o)
DeleteIt's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gillian! :o)
DeleteOh there's me - on the far right - in the dark. Can you see me waving?
ReplyDeleteLOL Yes, I can! Best thing about being in the dark - like you are - is that you're heading into spring & summer.
DeleteHaha --- SO cute -- I love it that your daughter has commented to thank you for her new blouse. Well Done Mama!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anna. I brought her up to be polite! :oD
