Spring blouses

Although the weather has been anything but spring-like over the last few weeks I have been busy preparing my spring wardrobe (as you do!).

I have made two tops using the Sencha pattern from Colette Patterns. The pattern gives three variations for a back fastening top. I made variation A in the black fabric with a small white spot

and variation C in the liberty print.

Then, just as I was finishing the liberty print top, I read that the top "tendance" for Spring 2010 is blue and white stripes and that if you are not wearing ruffles you are nowhere (on the fashionometer).

Luckily, I had a light blue and white striped cotton in my stash and McCalls pattern M5929 leapt to my rescue.

Have a good weekend!
