Well hello to you, my lovelies!<\/p>\n

I hope you’re doing well right now, whether you’re on vacation or at work. As for me, I’m eagerly awaiting my vacation, but in the meantime I’m showing you a little surprise top that will be slipping into my suitcase this summer. I say surprise because initially this lovely summer tank top wasn’t planned in my To-Do list of outfits to make for my personal S\/S 2016 collection. However, since the release of the Louise Top<\/a> pattern, the latest from R\u00e9publique du Chiffon<\/a>, plans have changed a bit. And if I had to choose just one garment to take with me, it would be this one (yes indeed! even if it means going bare-bottomed!) <\/p>\n

Louise: a fun pattern to sew and super practical for your little fabric remnants that you keep preciously. Here I used a piece of Liberty London fabric less than a meter with a narrow width (ref. Alma D Tana Lawn) purchased at the Liberty store in London on Regent Street. These fabrics are undeniably comfortable and easy to sew. I decided to add little buttons to highlight the collar, which can go unnoticed with these prints. As for the pattern, a R\u00e9publique du Chiffon standard: Clear instructions and impeccable results. Cutting and sewing completed in 2h30. Proof: Another one already under the presser foot! <\/p>\n

PS: My skirt is a DIY made with a single piece of fabric. I’ll tell you about it soon \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

Well hello to y’all beauties!<\/i><\/p>\n

Hope you are all doing well whether you are on holidays or at work. At my side I can’t wait to leave! But while waiting here is a little surprise top that is finding its way to my suitcase this summer. A surprise because initially this simple but beautiful summer top wasn’t in my sewing ToDo list for this summer. However since the release of the Louise pattern<\/a>, R\u00e9publique du Chiffon<\/a>‘s very last pdf pattern, If I had to leave on holidays with only one item it would be her! (\u2026Yes I know I will be half naked). <\/i><\/p>\n

Louise is a friendly pattern. Easy to sew and a practical way to use your precious little yards of fabric. I used a piece of Liberty fabric l got purchased in London in the Liberty London store on Regent Street (pattern ref. Alma D Tana Lawn). These fabrics are comfortable and are easy to sew. I decided to add a few decorative buttons to enhance and draw attention to the collar. Regarding the pattern, a R\u00e9publique du Chiffon standard: Clear explanations and a perfect result. Cutting of pieces and sewing were done in a 2h30 time lapse. Next project to come: Another Louise top \ud83d\ude00 <\/i><\/p>\n

PS: My skirt is a DIY made from an only piece of fabric. I’ll soon be talking to you about this. <\/em><\/p>\n
