Two Bees or Not Two Bees

I completely fell in love with this wonderful golden bee printed jersey from Stitch Fabrics, and I was in such a hurry to buy it that I misread the units of sale and thought I was buying it by the half metre, when actually it was by the full metre, so naturally I ended up with twice as much as I needed.
Well there's only one thing to do when that happens - make two somethings!
First is a Tilly and the Buttons Agnes top for me.


And second a racer back tank top for Eloise (pattern is Simplicity 8338)


And just in case you thought I'd abandoned it, here is my up to date temperature SAL, look at all those lovely reds and ornages!

    Nice new tops for you both.
    The temp SAL is looking good.

    Oh my goodness, I love any fabric with bee's on it, beautiful tops.
    Your Temp stitch along is lovely.

    What a lucky misshap - the fabric looks great on both garments. Great progress on the temperature SAL as well...so you too have been venturing into the reds!
