Simplicity 2599....

Last weekend was the getaway with the girls to 'Sewjourn'

Once again we all had a brilliant time and I survived the whole weekend without a headache, miracle of miracles. (usually due to lack of sleep and the sewing frenzy that occurs for 2 days straight!)

This is one of the articles of clothing that I made. 

 It is Simplicity 2599 in view E (without the bow on the side). Lara made this one at our Sewjourn getaway last November and I loved it so much that I bought the pattern.

It was a simple pattern with easy instructions and I love the way it has turned out.

 The instructions said to turn under the seam allowance on the ruffle to neaten the edge, but I like the rolled hem on the overlocker better. And, with the satin-y fabric it was much easier too.

And a couple of vintage Mother of Pearl buttons to the back for a bit more interest than just a covered button.

I love it, and I know I will get lots of wear out of this top in the warmer months.

More clothes to come, Kathryn. xx
