Oops, it's been a little while . . .
We've got my lovely SIL visiting for a few weeks, so between the usual weekly routine things and running around doing all sorts of fun touristy stuff, there hasn't been much time for blogging, or much crafting either, for that matter. So please do forgive the sporadic posts that will ensue over the next couple of weeks, and I'll pop in whenever I can.
But I do have a little sewing project to share today . . .
I first came across this lovely pattern on Love, Lucie's blog - it's the Day-to-Night Drape Top from Maria Denmark. Lucie has a whole array of them, and I love this simple yet pretty style, so I just had to get the pattern and give it a go. It's a download & print pattern which I normally tend to shy away from as to be honest, I find the whole process of printing and matching and taping together, a little tedious mostly - but as this pattern only has two pieces, it's a doddle to do.
It's a really easy-peasy top to make, and a perfect addition to my summer wardrobe. It really does what it says on the tin, and will do for daytime casual or nighttime elegance, depending on your fabric choice & accessories. And best of all, it took less than a meter of fabric - so it's an inexpensive make too.
So, thanks Lucie - I'm sure I'll be making lots more of these too : - )
And if you haven't yet discovered Lucie's lovely blog , do pop over to say hello and have a little peek at all her lovely makes.
Hope it's been a lovely weekend wherever you are,
'til next time,
take care of you
xoxo
ps. whilst I'm slacking a bit on the blog side of things, I am at least Instagramming, so if you'd like to follow along please do. You'll find me @ gilly_makes - or click on the link in the right hand column of this page.
