Green Sorbetto Top With Sleeves

I've made myself another sorbetto, I shared about one I made with a peter pan collar already. This one is more simple and is much closer to the original pattern but I did add sleeves! A friend of mine was clearing out some fabric and gave this to me so, with the free sorbetto pattern it hasn't cost me a penny. Winner.

I continue my quest to make myself useful clothes. This is a pretty useful top, not too fancy so I can wear it every day but the fabric makes it more special than your average top. This time I omitted the pleat down the front, made the sleeve pattern and used a neckline facing rather than the bias binding that the original pattern has. I kept the original length this time and it is a little shorter than I would usually wear but I thought it was right with the sleeves.

I am a little distracted from crafting at the moment because I am really into my book and its very difficult to craft and hold a book open at the same time. Its a good job this little number only took a few hours to sew together. Oh and I have almost finished a skirt that I am hoping to show you soon (with instructions) so all is not lost. But right now it't time for a cuppa and to read another chapter or two. Zoe xx
