Inspired by the talented ladies at Lindamade and Darling Petunia, I wanted to make my own version of Simplicity 3835 AKA the Built By Wendy top. It's also been dang hot around here, so the the time is right for light 'n' loose clothing.
I'll be honest, I never thought I would want to make a top like this. I thought it might be a little too sack-like for me. There are so many cute versions of it out there (check out this Flickr group), I thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did! It's a pretty quick project, comfy, and I've received a lot of compliments, too.
On a personal note, this summer blouse also beautifully hides the dreaded muffin top. I'm not saying I have one (ahem) but you know, if I did, this would be shirt to hide it. If I had a muffin top, which of course I don't. ;)
Why yes, I do have a ton of that fabric left, why do you ask?
Good job! Um, yes, the fabric does look familiar... Will a matching bag be next? --wink--

Knowing me, there will be a matching bag in the future. ;)
A friend of mine insists that I will show up with a matching bag AND headband.
