experiments in dressmaking - map top

Late last week I finished making See Kate Sew's Zippy Top using this excellent map fabric bought from the Goldhawk Road back in April. This pattern is ace: only four pieces, no darts, clear instructions - the hardest part was putting the paper pattern together!

Despite the name, I have a confession...with no decent zips in my sewing box (the pattern calls for an exposed zip so I wanted to use a pretty one) and thanks to my impatience (I was determined to finish it before the weekend) I decided to omit the zip! I think it's fine without it but the next ones (already picked out fabrics for two more - the pattern really is a dream) will have zips.

Anyhoo I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out - quick, easy, comfy and it brightens up even the most grey November day :)
