Me Made March Day 7

I managed to rope my trusty work colleague into taking my picture again, yay!  It's yea olde favourite Amy Butler Lotus pattern top in plain yellow and a shop bought skirt.

Me smiling sweetly wearing a yellow Lotus pattern top and shop bought skirt with diagonal stripes in brown, yellow, blue, green and orange, brown tights and trusty Dr Martens in red

I really like this top pattern, I fitted it a bit more closely that the one I made from cotton voile as it's a thicker and stiffer fabric it needed to be more structured.

I think the shape is rather flattering and it's easy to sew, especially when you only need a metre of fabric and 7 buttons.

I'm going to be doing a Sound of Music number tonight as I'm trying to wind up one of the women in work by making a skirt tonight from a curtain.  She thinks it's hysterical that I made a dress over the weekend as she's not very domesticated and thinks that it's all rather complicated.  She's lovely and I really want to make her laugh and show her it really is easy if you keep it simple!  Could be famous last words...
