Besides getting the fabric for Lea's dress at Mood, I also picked up this green and white floral cotton for my own use. When I bought it, I originally did not know what I was going to do with it, but then I decided to make a skirt, which I wore a lot over the summer. I used the same skirt pattern that I've always been using, New Look 6843.
When I finished with the skirt, I still had some leftover fabric, so I decided to make a shirt for the first time. I bought New Look 6356, which is a really simple and basic shirt pattern. Since it was the summertime, I made the sleeveless V-neck shirt. The hardest part was making the point of the V in the V-neck because there was a lot of extra fabric bunching up there. I ended up having to cut some away.
In the end, the shirt turned out really well and fits me nicely. Sometimes I wear both items separately, but other times I wear them together so it ends up looking like a dress. However, I've had to put these two away now until spring. Time to make some fall/winter clothes!
