These are easy to make and use only a yard of fabric, so it is definitely a win-win situation. The dot fabric was sent by <a href=\"http:\/\/yoshimitheflyingsquirrel.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Yoshimi<\/a> when we did a little swap last year. It has a little bit of stretch to it and is very Japanese-y, I think. The pattern is a mish-mash of various patterns I have. I wanted French sleeves and an easy pullover design. The neck kind of gaped and hung open in an odd manner, so I put in a little tuck in front, and now it is fine.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_3089.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_3089-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3089\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_3089-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_3089-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_3089-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI revised the pattern I used for the dots to address the gaping neck issue, and I think it fits just right now. Last fall when we went to Japan, I went to the <a href=\"http:\/\/naniiro.jp\/textile\/\" target=\"_blank\">nani iro<\/a> mothership in Osaka. It was amazing, but I could not take any photos because it is NOT ALLOWED, plus the clerk gal was a little scary. Anyway, I did not buy much fabric, just this piece and another in the same motif but in a hot pink. I LOVE THIS FABRIC. I got one meter of each. Unfortunately, the fabric was a smidge too narrow to fully cooperate with the pattern, so I had to get creative (see the bottom of the shirt. One bonus was I didn&#8217;t have to hem!). I haven&#8217;t decided whether I should make this same shirt in the hot pink or if I should find something else to make. What do you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I made a couple of summer tops! These are easy to make and use only a yard of fabric, so it is definitely a win-win situation.
