This is actually the first thing that I managed to sew after the arrival of little Toby, but it’s been waiting for the collaboration post on Minerva crafts to go live. I decided to start off with something simple to ease into sewing in small doses- the Sew Over It Lucia. This was made with some soft touch jersey from Minerva Crafts, so you can see the full blog post over here.
I’m glad I chose something with so few pattern pieces. This has just 3- a front/back, the sleeve and the frill. Cutting out is my least favorite part of sewing so having just a couple of pieces let me get on with the sewing, rather than spending lots of time on the parts I don’t enjoy so much. I think the finished top will serve me well into the autumn and winter too.
It’s also great to be fitting some of my other clothes again! I’ve been wearing this top with my Moss skirt which will also be a good year long combo with tights and boots.
