Riley Blake Summer Halter Top

So those of you who are regular visitors here (I thank you!) will remember my post about winning a Riley Blake charm pack and full yard from One Hundred Years Ago and Plum Patchwork...

well, here's what I made with it!

A halter neck tie top with a patch front panel..it has elastic at the top, across the back, and round the bottom, and is very comfy!

I'm so pleased with it, I want to make another - and if I do, rest assured I'll also write a tutorial for it too!

I'm also entering this in the Made by Rae Spring Top sew-a-long, so look for me there!

Thomas Skinny Tie

While cutting the fabric for Jamie's summer pj bottoms/lounge pants I had a long, thin scrap of fabric left over....so after looking at it for a while wondering what to make with it, I came up with this! He's a funny lad, he likes wearing ties, and loves Thomas, so I thought it would be perfect!

No pattern, as per....I just winged it - it fastens at the back with a popper so he can't hang himself on anything.

Just look at the face, full of mischief lol!

Thanks for looking!
