Following encouragement from quite a few of you I bought the flamingo fabric and it is now made into a top. It is 95% cotton so should be good for the Summer
I like this pattern as it is flattering to my shape but I readily admit that it was not ideal for the fabric as it has a seam along the top of the bust which resulted in me having very conspicuous chopped up flamingoes (I didn`t have enough fabric to try to match it). I ended up putting some ribbon along the seamline which hopefully distracts from this a bit
I`m going to attempt to attach a photo - I`ve just read the tutorial about re-sizing photos but my laptop doesn`t want to download the software so I hope it will be ok
(I agree that it looks rather like a Hawaiian shirt in the photo but if we ever get some sunshine I think it will be ok)
