Simplicity 2599

Here we go again! I've lost count of how many times I've made this Simplicity pattern. My daughter loves it as a quick, versatile top that she can dress up with slacks or dress down with jeans. I finally got around to tweaking the fit a bit and used this Burda tutorial to move the dart up since she is very petite.

I closed the short opening in the back with one of my favorite closures -  a button and thread loop.

I have been sewing a lot for my daughter lately. It thrills me that she wants to wear clothes that I make for her so, when she asks, I jump right on it. I do, however, have a couple of projects lined up for me next. Who do you enjoy sewing for?

  1. I enjoy sewing for anyone, really. It makes me more motivated to get the project done than if I was making it for myself!

    But my favorite person to sew for may have to be my younger sister. Just because she gets excited about the process, the fabric, the designing. . . As much as me!

  2. Very pretty top! I am very selfish with my sewing now...I use to enjoy sewing for others years ago, but now, it's all about me! That may.change again later though.

  3. Cute top! The thread loop is a sweet little touch that looks so polished.
