Button Down Sleeveless Top
Hi there, welcome back and happy weekend 🌺 I finished a button-down top three days ago. I planned to make this for so long and glad I finally did it. I used Ottobre Design Maureen SS 2/2018 pattern size 40 and left-over cotton fabric from my previous garment.

I made something similar to this when I first started sewing. I filled my with dried beans! They are a variety of shapes and fabrics. This is so perfect for the beginning seamstress.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah Liz. I am using tuna cans since 2009, so it's time to change to these cute things :) :)
DeleteCute! I've been meaning to make some of these, myself. It's a good way to use up some scraps, as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathy. Yes, it is a perfect way to use up some scraps :)
