Amy Sedaris Top


 Did you know comedian Amy Sedaris has a fabric line with Windham fabrics?  I love Amy's style, she always has the cutest dresses on, and she even makes me want to buy Downy Unstoppable (have you seen that commercial). I love all her fabric from Windham I have already made some pj's from the 'I like you' fabric. 

  I made this top for Fabricland, as a summer camp sample. The pattern is Simplicity 1693, a swing top with a peter pan collar. The body is made from tulip and polka dot fabric, and the collar is a printed rick rack! I LOVE RICK RACK, I might have mentioned that before ;). The stripe down the middle is a polka dot bias tape, that I sewed down on both sides. I also used the same bias tape to finish the armholes and neckline. Polka dots, rick rack, and tulips, I love how it all came together! 

I made this top months ago, and never tried it on. I've never worn this kind of top before and was unsure about the shape, but it's cute and comfortable. I like the hemline, how it is lower in the back, I guess it's a mullet top. Has anyone else used Amy's fabric? I have plans to use more of her prints, I can't get enough!
