Over the last few weeks, inspired by the BBC television programme "The Great British Sewing Bee", I've been slightly distracted from quilting by dress making. I've made three and a bit summer tops. My favourite is made from a gorgeous Rayon Challis fabric from the Field Study range by Anna Maria Horner. It has a beautiful drape and is really easy to work with. The top is made from Simplicity pattern 2892.

The Back.
I may be brave a get a photo taken of me wearing it and show that too!
I have done some more of my Jazz Hands blocks but have also had a little break from these too recently.

I'm back onto these now and have nearly finished another. Hoping to start basting a quilt today so sore knees and back expected later!

Fabulous top.
That's a lovely top! I'm inspired by GBSB to do some dressmaking as well. Have you seen Tilly's patterns? (http://www.tillyandthebuttons.com/) I wasn't sure about her blouse on the program, but versions in other fabrics look lovely.
I LOVE your top. it's fab
Your blouse is lovely! Looking forward to seeing your Jazz Hands come together!
What a lovely top! How do you rate the sizing of the pattern? Is it true to size?
