Back in October last year I made two versions of Simplicity 2599. The first a wearable muslin, the second one in silk. At the time, I was over the silk version by the time I finished it and it has sat in my wardrobe since then. Finally yesterday I got it out to wear to work and really liked it (why I did wait so long?)
Both patterns featured in the Pattern Review best patterns of 2010.
I enjoyed wearing this top so much, that I have decided to make some more shell tops. The top I have decided to make is the Sorbetto Top. A pattern which should be on the top 2011 pattern list. Many successful versions have been made, the latest one I have seen here.
Now to finish my Vogue 1250 and then to find the sticky tape to prepare that pattern... Ciao!
You look lovely and love your fabric.S2599 is such a wardrobe staple, I have made upto 4 shells from this pattern
ReplyDeleteSounds like you needed to let this time cool off until you were ready to wear it. It looks brilliant.
