Blooming Peasant Blouse

Here's my next submission into Spring Top Week.

It is nothing mind-blowing, but it's a new top. Three cheers for new tops.
Hey, I never said I was entering the contest to win! Hehehe...

I had bought this knit fabric a while ago, but never was really inspired to use it before. It is a little busy, with all those flowers, so I thought that a simple top that shows off the fabric will be most appropriate.

I've made some peasant tops for my kids, and even made one for myself off a pattern.
However, this top was actually drafted to fit my body type. I did not want a peasant top that was too voluminous, only because the pattern on the fabric has so much going on for it.
The result was a comfortable spring top that I can toss on to run my daily errands:
I'm trying my best to give you different poses so that you can get better views of the top. However, I always end up with this pose.
It's the same in every picture! Sigh!!!
So, I thought, how about I raise this arm:

Propped against a sofa? You can tell by my expression that I am getting tired of all this picture taking. I make a very impatient model.

Well, there it is!

Love it! It's fun to scroll through all the STW shirts and see the different/same poses :)

It's good to go simple. Sometimes we crafters want to make such fabulous things we forget about practical.

Looks great, and I love the print on the fabric. I make a horrible model too. Your face in the last pic makes me giggle. I can feel your pain, lol. :)
