DIY Summer Top

Pintrest has inspired me again. I had some fabric just sitting on the shelf collecting dust so I thought I would put it to good use before the summer is done and I have no need for light and airy fabric.

A loooooong time ago I pinned this along with 1.2 million other gals and I always came back to this tutorial because it sounded easy and its just my style of top especially when I'm nursing. I wanted to make it one time following all the directions so I could get the hang of it. Next time I think I might add some sleeves or take out the flutter sleeves and lengthen it to look like this...so cute.

So here...

Initial cutting stages. 

And final product. I really dislike taking phone shots in this direction - I feel really awkward and all I can stare at is the dang phone but my Ryan wasn't around so this is what you get. 

The tutorial was really simple to follow and I think it turned out pretty well. It took me nearly most of the day because I had to set up and take down for meal times and the kids...they can only watch Netflix for so long. 

The fabric was from Fabric.com. I really really really don't like taking the kids to the fabric store and Fabric.com delivers right to your door for free if your cart has more than $35 so pile in the fabric and get it shopped to yo house. 

What I Wore on Sunday

Doing my first link up with Fine Linen and Purple with What I Wore on Sunday. Make sure you put on some ray bans because the shine in my forehead will blind you. We took this photo at the very last second and I wanted to take another one but the kids....that's all I have to really say because you understand don't you? My shirt was unbuttoned but I'm covering a HUGE yellow curry stain that looks like fresh baby poo. Virgil twisted in my arms as the spoon was about to reach my mouth and then there you have it...it looked like I was lactating yellow poo because it landed squarely on boob.

Petra decided to join me for the photo sans one sock.
