Another jersey top

I loved my first gray jersey top made from Burda 7866 so much that I decided to make another one in a more interesting print. For some reason, I got most of the way done weeks ago and then stopped. I finally finished it up today. I definitely seemed to have a day of bad luck with this, which may be why I set it aside. While snipping thread ends, I accidentally snipped a small hole right in the middle of the fabric. And at one point, while top stitching the neck edge, the machine tried to suck in the fabric and tore it when I pulled it out. There were other mistakes I made, too, that slowed down the process, but it's cute and wearable. And most of all, it's finished.

The perfect name

This is called "The Coffee Date Dress" and it's available as a free download at Burda Style. I think the name suits it just perfectly. It's most certainly on my to-do list, and boy am I in a sewing mood after last week! Summer sewing is just so much more fun than winter sewing.




But first, I guess I need to get on that adorable Prairie Girl dress from Favorite Things. And I just discovered this FANTASTIC JACKET on that site.
