Spring Top Week Top Two/Too

April 28, 2010 By crafterhours 12 Comments

I’m totally a copycat. Is that cool? Maybe, maybe not. But when my pile of new voile arrived on Monday night, I was inspired to do what Adrianna was doing. I had wanted to participate in Spring Top Week but my first attempt was a miiiiiiserable failure. It’s now a doll blanket or something, I’m not sure what K has done with it. From one angle it looked okay, but only that one angle. It’s not like I can go out to dinner and stand still enough to be seen from just one angle. Because there’s bound to be more than one person in the restaurant and they can’t both stand in the exact same spot to view me, now, can they?

So here’s my second attempt. It’s Anna Maria Horner Little Folks Voile: Coloring Garden in Citrus. I’ve dubbed this top the Mimosa. It feels bubbly and citrusy and champagne-y to me. The top has three pleats and the bottom is an orange-y knit. Yummm-y to me.

 The back has a straight panel of voile. Straps are simple.

I have a thing for pleats. And the voile is soooo buttery. Voile pleats = awesomeness in my opinion.

This is my pleased-with-myself smile. Because I made something for myself and I love how it turned out. And I’m still sort of shocked.

    You should smile and be pleased with your self! If I ever made anything that really fit me and turned out that great, I would too! I really like the two tops you made in this style. The neckline is great!
