Fabric

Floral knit from Chez Ami

Apple print from my quilting cotton stash along with a scrap of denim

Constructions Notes

B5913 runs very short.  If you add at least 2" to the bottom of the skirt, it will also make construction much easier. At it's current length, the bottom of the sleeve and the top hem are at the same spot.   I also used fold-over elastic instead of a self-fabric neckband.

M5693 was done according to the pattern directions.  The front slit is pretty low and for modesty, one needs to wear a camisole.  Less slit..........

Ruffle Top by Christine Jonson Patterns

Pattern is very easy to follow directions and construct. 

Fabric

Polyester knit from Hancock Fabric

This fabric is not a great quality, but fine for a quick test run of this pattern.

Conclusion:

I made this top in the late spring and it got too hot to wear or model.  Our first breath of fall and temps below 90 degrees, brought out this top.  The knit fabric is textured, so the crossover is a little bulky on me.  Christine Jonson has directions on her website to make this top a little more modest, so I can drop the camisole under it.  I do want to make another soon!

Ruffle Top with a little wind, but you can see the ruffles better.
