This is Simplicity 8919 Misses’ Knit Top. I made this one using a Knit Prints Pima Cotton-Yellow Lemons . Lemon printed fabrics and fabric with fruits on them seem to be very popular right now.
I have started sewing with a purpose, making garments that I actually need in my rotation. Last week I posted about McCall’s 7543 a top that looks similar to this one but made out of a 100% cotton fabric instead of a knit.
This was an easy sew and I love how it fits. It can be worn on or off the shoulder and it hits right at the waist in the correct spot. It is the perfect top for shorts.
I can see me making more of these for summer and possible extending the length to make it into a dress. Now that would be cute.
