I got this fabric in Bangkok last summer - a lightweight cotton that was perfect for this pattern. I made a slight square shoulder adjustment and changed the neck closure from ties to a button and loop. See earlier post for close-up view.

Thanks to my older sister for taking these photos in her beautiful garden. It’s 97F/36C degrees in Delaware. We weren’t outside for very long.

Skipper Top by Matchy Matchy Sewing Club - changed gathers to inverted pleats in front/back panels (and cropped it because that’s all the fabric I had left) - and the Lala Skirt by Studio Neeela, which has an adjustable waist. See waist ties in last pic. It’s a maxi skirt but I shortened it so I would have some fabric leftover for a top.
💕
The fabric is a cotton fabric from Britex Fabrics, which I purchased with a gift certificate from my youngest sister. How fitting that she took the photos!

It was 99F/37C today. 🥵 I drank a lot of water.

I finished my linen Juno pants the night before my flight. When I realized I was headed for a heat wave I knew I needed to pack sleeveless tops, dresses and make some linen pants. My other black linen pants are a bit worn out and faded. It was time for a new pair! I really like this pattern by Merchant and Mills - no adjustments needed because it has inverted pleats in front, elastic at back waist and slightly curved waistband. This is my second pair. My first was a black pinwale corduroy. I will be wearing them a lot on this trip.
🖤
In a few hours I’ll be changing into the ensemble I made for the wedding I’m attending later today.

The Quilla top is a Fibre Mood pattern.

To avoid making more bias tape, I changed the back closure from ties to a covered button and loop.

It took me a while to decide on what method to use. I just need to finish binding the armholes and hem it. As you can see I did not pattern match. I won’t see the back so it won’t bother me. Plus I want to use the leftover fabric to make something else.

I think I used a dress pattern from a Nani Iro sewing book but made it into this top with split seam. I wanted to use all of the fabric so I made it as long as possible.
