Needing a nice new top for work, I made this shiny new top a few weeks ago. I cut a pattern from an existing Esprit shirt I have that I absolutely adore - flowing sleeve, slash neck, fitted at the waist. Perfectly me (although a few more sit-ups are in order me thinks!). I've had this fabric for years sitting around that I rescued from a remnant bin - it's shiny and stretchy and perfect for this pattern. I've worn it a couple of times with a 50's style knee length skirt and wide belt to work with my patent leather heels - love it. I think I might buy some nice jersey and make a few more for Summer - only takes an hour or so to whip up as the back is the same as the front.
Now I just need a good A-line skirt pattern...any suggestions for a good one? (And I know Eileen is going to say, just draft your own, and I know you've shown me how, but I'm too scared!)
