With my self imposed baby sewing week (ahem! weeks) complete, I was very excited to make a top for Made by Rae's Spring 2010 Top Week!
Here is my spring top!
Because it has been ever so faithful as pregnancy tunic I used Amy Butler's Mini Dress and Tunic pattern once again. Only this time I added sleeves which was a huge feat for me. I have never altered a pattern before and so I spent a lot of time staring at things over and over again and sewing and picking out stitches until I had it the way I hoped for.
Instead of adding the tucking detail on the dress straps I added it on the sleeves. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
I used Sandi Henderson's Ginger Blossom fabric in mustard that I had in my stash. I love that this fabric quite perfectly matches my favorite pair of crocs!
Secretly I'm kind of hoping this top will be one I can wear after having the baby as it seems like it would provide a nice little tent-ish space for him to fit in comfortably while nursing while also giving a bit of privacy at the same time. We shall see...
I've been having lots of fun looking at everyone's awesome spring tops on flickr! Happy Springtime and Happy Earth Day!

Darling top. So cute, Jenny.
I love it! The fabric is lovely, and I love how you added sleeves. I have been wanting to try this pattern. Hmm. A great maternity top, too.
