Yet another from my tnt (tried and true donchaknow) Simplicity 9037. At last count, four tops and one dress.
This one is made from some lovely soft lightly brushed checked cotton in pink and navy. This fabric comes from a massive haul me and my sister recently had at a local op shop where we were invited to “see what was in the backroom” and ended up taking home two banana boxes full to bursting of fabric for a paltry $20. Dreams can come true y’all.
Nothing much else to say apart from worn twice in first week.
Check it.

Really cute! I love any thing with raglan sleeves and your top is no exception! I can’t believe you found a ton of fabric for $20. I want your fairy godmother.

It wasn’t until we were in the car that the squealing started. Inside, it was all “Be cool”, but it sure felt like a magical moment.
I’m also a fan of the raglan sleeve.

Clearly the work of a great talent. It was an embarrassment of riches with so many good shots to choose from!

Fab top, but I think what we’ve all learned from this post is that we should all start hanging round charity shops more often! 😉

Hi. Nothing better than a tried and tested pattern. This looks great. I like a raglan sleeve. Is this one with a dart on the shoulder or an overarm seam??
And the fabric haul….jealous!!!

It has a dart on the shoulder, which I really love. And yes, the fabric haul was a red letter day!

The dart on the shoulder makes it a really nice shape. I found a vintage pattern recently with this shape and I need to add it to the endless list of things to make!!!

Yes, do it. I’d never seen it before this little vintage number, but really love it.

Thanks. I’m a recent convert, think they suit my broad shoulders and relatively straight frame.
