Simplicity 8601

Simplicity 8601 top made from Style Maker Fabrics' shirting


Another spring shirt in a beautiful spring color.

This Simplicity 8601, has some great options for sleeves and really can make it look quite different.

I used the straight of grain front layout, as View A is cut on on the bias to have a great stripe feature.

I did stitch the center front down much lower than the pattern indicated.  I wanted the cute tie but not to show any belly.

The sleeves have a seam down the center with a sleeve front and back.  Also, the flounce is a front and back piece, with the flounce higher in the middle.  I did do a french seam on the seams for the flounce, I didn't want the stitching to show.


The fabric came from Style Maker Fabrics last year but Michelle has great shirtings and challis and lawns and voiles to make this top

The back has a keyhole and I used a small piece of elastic for the button.  Easy to finish and to fit through the button

Here is why I finished the flounce seams, a bit of breeze and up the flounces fly.

This top was easy to make with trendy sleeves.  

What sleeve trends do you want to make this spring?

  5. Woah! I loved this shirt and blog. I usually come to read blogs over here and I have asked my boyfriend to buy me this shirt for myself. I find this shirt so attractive and you know, girls love pink a lot. I wish to live in a pink world created by me. My boyfriend has told me he will get me one when I find him a professional academic writer. He then will ask to do my dissertation at lower rates.
