Butterick vintage top: Sewn feature!

I had one of the biggest sewing honors of my life, and that was to be asked to make a garment for Sewn magazine.  I was so elated!  Michelle, the editor and founder of the magazine, asked me to make this pattern by Gertie.  

How cute is this little top?

This is Butterick 6563.  I was asked to make View C and I happily obliged.

This was an easy sew and I wanted to use something from my stash that I loved.  I chose this quilting cotton in a ditzy print.  I so love orange for summer!

I will say however that there was still snow on the ground when my hubby snapped these photos!

Michelle wanted a vintage look so I pulled my hair back, put on a scarf, my 'pearls' and my Keds.

This was a fun and fast garment to sew.  The pattern is well-drafted and I like the fit.  Mine isn't as snug as Gertie's but then again, she is much younger than I am!

If you look at the far right of the photo in the middle part, you can see the snow.

Not sure why I was leaned over to the left, but whatever!  

I like the back of this too.  I made a swayback adjustment and it was worth it!

Sometimes I have the goofiest looks on my face!

In this photo you can see that cute little pocket.  

I enjoyed making this pattern and a heavier cotton works just perfect!  I want to make the cap sleeve version with that cute little neck tie.  

Thanks for reading!
