Remember this skirt I was talking about a while ago...?
This one :
Well, here's what it looks like now:
Although it probably does not qualify for the name 'crop top', it is still quite high waisted and looks better worn with accordingly high waisted bottoms.
I wore it to a jive dancing session last weekend, was perfectly comfortable and got lots of compliments about it. Needless to say I'm quite happy with it!
Well, my boyfriend's birthday was almost a month ago...but fear not, he got his present on time! (well, almost : hardly a week late!)

The pattern, as previously mentioned, is Kwik Sew 3484,
which, I repeat it, is true to its name.
The buttons are wooden ones and I made handworked button holes (my man said he liked them better than machine-made ones!) following Charlotte's tutorial, which I highly recommend.
All in all it went quite smoothly, apart from the fact that I was quite puzzled by the tiny seam allowances : 6mm...hope this shirt is not going to rip apart all of a sudden!
