Oh, how I love thee Tova - my perfect weekend shirt, which also scrubs up well for the office.
I used some buttery soft cotton voile for this one. It's from Anna Maria Horner's Innocent Crush range - I bought it at RayStitch last summer (where I met the v lovely Melizza for the first time too!). AMH voile is just wonderful stuff: it feels a bit like Liberty lawn, only a bit butterier (if that makes sense).
Nothing new to say about the pattern. Part of me thinks I should stop at three, but I don't think that's going to happen. I will, however, take a break from it - I have to concentrate my sewing energies on a dress to wear to a wedding at the end of this month. I'm thinking Simplicity 2444 (did you see Roisin's wonderful version?!) - fabric decision is yet to be made, but I strongly suspect it will be Liberty.
speak soon!

Gorgeous! Love this top! I've never used AMH voile, but I'm tempted after your description of it! Looking forward to seeing your new dress! You would look so cute in Simplicity 2444!
ReplyDeletethanks! seriously - try the AMH voile - you'll love it. it's more expensive than Liberty lawn here... gah!
DeleteThis is a gorgeous top and the fabric you have chosen is perfect.
ReplyDeletethanks Lisa!
DeleteI think this is my favourite of your Tova's - lovely! And yes, 2444 would be fab on you - go for it!
ReplyDeletewhy thank you! it's fast becoming my favourite tova too.
DeleteThis shirt is so lovely. I love the simple design and artwork of those sewing patterns - a thing of beauty in itself.

ReplyDeleteI was excited to see a polka dot Tova but this is even better! Love the print and the colour looks lovely on you. It's such a classy pattern and you're slowly convincing me I should try the tiny pocket tank...
