Cowl neck top

Another from a long line of tops from the same self drafted pattern. This one's in a polka dot satin that's been in stash for a few years already.  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  
I blogged about it here https://patternpandemonium.wordpress.com/2018/07/12/this-and-that-and-a-good-read/.
This satin was a medium heavy , probably poly, one and with the bias cut there wasn't any problems of fraying that you usually associate with a pure silk satin, so stitching it up was a breeze. I've made more of these than I can count, for myself and other family members. They're very quick to assemble, and if your fabric is at least 140 wide don't take much. What else can I say? Not the most exciting make, but soothingly simple, done in 7 steps.

That's lovely Jen!  It's similar to a Vogue one I've made a couple of times.  Easy to wear and you can dress it up or down.

Love your hat - mine fell in the littlies pool at the weekend, doesn't look the same now..... :(

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

That's lovely, @jen!  Wish I could wear cowl necks but not with my bust ....  :S

Thanks for the complements friends, sorry about the scowl, only had about two minutes of peace to bang out shots and I looked equally grim in all of them.  :D
