Silky Top

I was at Jo-Ann's awhile back to get some thread and happened to browse through the patterns that were on sale.  I love it when the patterns go on sale for $.99 each. It makes my sales receipt look so awesome at the bottom when it says I've saved $75 or something crazy like that.  Found this fun top/tunic/dress--just name your length.

Love these sleeves!

They remind me of Calla lilies.

Here is my version.

Details:

• Butterick 5815
• View A--top
• Neckline calls for just a rolled hem but I made a fabric facing instead.  I felt it would lay nicer.
• I also cut it down some.  The pattern was definitely more boat neck style than their picture shows.
• I also had to adjust the shoulder seam slightly.  To me it seemed to be cut weird--like angled too high towards the neck.  Honestly that neckline was a BUGGER!
• Fabric from the stash--leftover from Leslie's Easter dress that she sent me.  So happy that I actually had enough of it.  

Wore it to church with this necklace.  

Also made a dress version.  Not sure I love it.

I may add some elastic thread to the waist to give it some definition.

Or cut it off and make it into another shirt.

This fabric--$2.00 piece from the thrift store.

Kind of ombre tie dye look with embroidered leaved.
