This Weekend's Makes

Another version of the Simplicity 1463 top from this post. This one is in the same lace (it doesn't use very much, I did both tops with 1m and have some left over) and a manga print jersey. Modelled (with attitude) by Naomi. Again I had to cut a size smaller, this is an XS.
This time I remembered to take a picture of the back.

Also I decided that since we're having a spot of summer I should replace the "spring" wreath on the front door. Last year's summery one (see this post) was looking a bit sad when I got it out of the garage, so I freshened it up with a boat and some teeny tiny bunting.
And yes, the front door HAS been painted

Super top, lovely fabric and modelled so beautifully.

The summer wreath looks devine, here's to lots of summery days and trips to the seaside (for me!)

Your daughter's new top looks fabulous--she is such a cute model, too :) And I love the updated wreath, Christine--that tiny bunting is so perfect!

Lovely top, and model too!

The wreath looks nice for Summer on your Tardis door.

What a pretty top and a sweet model too! Your wreath is lovely ~ makes me want to take a trip to the ocean. :)

Another lovely top. I really wish I could do stuff like this. I was a failure at it at school!

Beautiful wreath.

Brilliant top. Love the use of the lace. Your summer wreath looks great too.

o my! Where do you get manga print fabric! (!!!!) The shirt looks great; I've always been a fan of not-so-flat hems. (Is this considered asymmetrical? I'm clueless about fancy sewing terms.)

Love how you freshened up the wreath! Teeny tiny buntings are awesome.
