Just finished in Coton sateen hopefully it will drape better when washed.

Lovely fabric, great fit. That will be a useful item. Is it this one Annie?

@Vezelay
Yes That's it.  I made it before in a bright pink linen mix but but it shrank  (or I grew  ).   The pattern was a suggestion from Morgan from TSF days.
The front is a bit low cut but it works fine with a  modesty panel.   
I'll make it again with a straight hem as I think it will turn out (eventually) to be a  useful TNT pattern.

@annieg nice job on that one. 
brought back a time warp moment - I recall doing the pattern matching with the checked fabric I used for the version I put on the Lekala site.
The fabric came from Dolcevita.


About the neckline - I altered the pattern and drafted a new front placket/button bands for a couple of later versions so that the neckline  isn't quite so low.  An easy to wear top.

This is probably my most used Lekala pattern. I love the fit through the shoulders and armhole - where I usually have to alter. I altered the front placket so it's not so low, I've made a few with the waist seam, a few without the waist seam, on some I straightened the hem, on some removed the collar.

I love the fabric you've used here, it looks very nice.
