BWOF 07-2008-116

My daughter needs a few summer tops, so I have started on 116 from the July BWOF. I scaled down to a 32 at the bust, and raised the front neckline 2 inches.
 

 
I made the ties a little more skinny than the pattern called for, so that there was plenty of room in the casing.
 

The fabric is a quilting cotton. I have piped the neckline in one of the colours from the fabric.
 
. I will review the pattern at pattern review this evening. I made a few construction changes, but it was a pretty easy pattern.

This is really cute. I wish I would have raised my neckline up a bit too. I have to wear it with a camisole underneath which looks kiond of funny.

You've made your daughter a very pretty top Karen. I don't get BWOF as a matter of course. I usually just check it out at the newsagent and often I don't see anything I like and don't buy it. However I did buy the latest one to hit the shelves yesterday and it is the July issue. I thought there were some really nice looking designs inthis one. Great choice of fabric on the top too by the way. :)

Now I have to make this for Lu. I've been wanting to make it since Dawn made hers! Yours is so adorable. I love the piping!
