Well, we made it…

…both figuratively and literally!

Our Big Girl made it through her first day of Kindergarten. I think she had a blast, and she came home exhausted! Now, if I can just get her there on time for the rest of the year.

The green top is Simplicity 3830. I finished it late Sunday night before wearing it Monday, but that’s the way these things go. As for the top, Step 6 in the pattern instructions is a little incomplete. I found I had to stop stitching at the side seams and reposition the fabric to avoid catching the “sleeve” portion of the wrap in the casing. The fabric was a silkie from Hancock’s.
If I were to do it again, I would be careful to choose a fabric with that was woven more evely. With the one I used, my side fringe is much wispier than my bottom fringe. I won’t be making it again, but it is a simple pattern that even a beginner could use. And, it adds a splash of color into my late-spring-summer-early fall “hot weather” wardrobe.
