These tops are versions of the simple summer cotton top that I made a couple of months ago – I really love this pattern! It isn’t too difficult to make, and it fits really well. I had my eye on these fabrics for so long and then managed to get them in the John Lewis sale, which was even better!

On the floral top I used one of my vintage buttons from our friend Madge, and I used a fabric covered button on the pink top.

I also made another A-line skirt out of this super hot air balloon fabric – I love this fabric!

This skirt has a lovely bright yellow lining, so it’s perfect for a sunny day!

I’ve got a pattern for a different top that I haven’t tried out yet, so really looking forward to giving it a go. This one has a zip in it, so I’ll be doing a trial run before I make one out of this amazing fabric!

I also started working on an alteration project tonight, turning this top into a skirt…it’s going well so far, so fingers crossed!

Look out for more sewing on here soon! What have you been making?
