I re-discovered some designer fabric samples that I'd put away sometime ago whilst waiting to be inspired. Well inspiration did come! I was limited in what I could make as the samples weren't too big and I only had enough to squeeze out a top. A simple, sleeveless pull on top. So I chose an easy, economical pattern which allowed a smock styled yoke and a slightly loose front and back.
Part way through sewing the top, I lost my inspiration when I realised that it looked like a maternity top. While I was pondering what to do to save this once inspired top from becoming a wadder - Miss 5 tells me that if I want to I can make the top into a twirly, whirly dress for her. I'm not ready to admit defeat yet - but if I do, you'll see this top reincarnated as a girls dress. Problem solved huh?
