So Me Made June is fast approaching so thought I'd better get a wiggle on and make some new stuff so I sewed up a Prima pattern top as love the pleating on the neckline and sleeves and there's no fasteners! Yay! Not so yay is the fact that I don't like tops with no shape to the waist so have had to employ the use of a sash I originally made for the Sew Weekly meet.

I used the cotton I got from Goldhawk Road for this top and am happy with the result, I like the 3/4 sleeves and the light airy cotton was good today as have been running a temperature! haha! Hate colds. The sash was made from a remnant I picked up in the market so the whole top ensemble cost a grand total of £5.50, not bad methinks.
To cheer myself up I found this in a charity shop today, it's rather 60's looking and am wondering what company made it but know it will be in good company with my yellow Sylvac vase that's in my header filled with felt flowers.

And since I haven't been up to much lately here's some pretty flowers on my table and in my garden, I'm hoping I can get some sewing done this long bank holiday weekend so finger's crossed I'll have some sewing related pictures for you all!

Happy Sewing!
