Simplicity Pattern # 2593

Today I ventured out in public wearing the first article of clothing I sewed for myself! I am happy to report that no one pointed and laughed and it held together in one piece the whole time I have had it on, two victories in my book.

Sorry for the less than stellar image - this was taken with my computer's camera.

I made it out of some Alexander Henry fabric, that for some reason I can't find the name of anywhere. I bought it at Mama Said Sew in Fort Collins if you are interested. I used Simplicity pattern # 2593 and think I could have gone down a size but still find it to be comfortable with a bit of room. Kevin isn't a big fan of it (please see previous sentence about it being a tad too large) but I think it is a perfect summer top.
