I know, yes; it really does say handmade by me at the top of this blog and I did not make this lovely, but wait; there is a logical explanation...
I am posting it here mostly to show the fabudabulous Merche, because a short while ago she very generously sent Patrones no. 7 magazine over to me; muchísimas gracias Merche! And Cassie's top is the first cab off the rank... The pattern is number 20, a little camisole blouse with a shirred back and a shoestring strap threaded through the top of the bodice to gather it up. It closes with an invisible zip in the side seam. Cassie elected to cross over the straps at the back, but otherwise the blouse is made up just to pattern.
She used a very lightweight cotton from Potters Textiles; thank you to Vanessa for alerting me to the Potters sale last year! This is the first time a Potters Textile has appeared on my blog here. Ack-choolly.... :) this is the very first Patrones magazine I've got my clutches on, and the very first make from it, using the first piece of fabric I bought from Potters Textiles and the first time a Potters fabric has appeared here on the blog...
So this pretty little top represents a veritable avalanche of firsts... woot!
Cassie also made her own skirt, using Butterick 5488 and cotton denim from Fabulous Fabrics.
