Summer Sewing Season

This fabric started out as a 5 minute skirt but that pattern just didn’t seem to work out for me. Since the fabric is a lightweight lawn cotton I knew I wanted to make some kind of wearable item.

That’s when I went back to my favorite (and perhaps only) summer top pattern from the Built by Wendy collection. During the first attempt there were a few minor mishaps and the second attempt was much easier but the fabric choice was a little bland. This time around I shortened the length of the top and omitted the elastic around the arms.

I was definitely feeling inspired by all the cute tops during Spring Top Week on Made by Rae. There were some really adorable creations but my next wearable maybe a simple summer dress. I’m not sure which one it will be yet so if you have any suggestions, I’m all ears.
