Here is the new top, fabric from Fabric.com, a lovely border print. I couldn't use the border since it runs the non-stretch direction!

A bit off-topic. Washer broke last night, repairman out and he can fix it but parts are approximately two-thirds the cost of a new washer. New washer delivered tomorrow. Then on the way to town about an hour ago to take the twins to basketball practice. A flat tire! We were a half-mile from home, so I ran home to get hubby's old farm truck. The girls were on time to practice and four new tires were put on my SUV. Things happen in three, not looking forward to that third thing.
Off to cut out a pattern, that will make me feel better. New brown slacks, they will match this top.

Cute top, love the print!
ReplyDeleteWho says the third thing has to be a bad thing? Great print and simple but stylish cut.
ReplyDeletepretty top! i almost bought that fabric, but i am on a serious fabric diet these days.
ReplyDeletehope the third thing is something small and cheap. :) however, a new washer can be a good thing.
The new top is so pretty and will fabulous with a new pair of brown pants. I love how you used another pattern piece to make this work for you!
ReplyDeleteAnd hopefully, this will be it for you and the third thing will NOT happen!!!
