Well, Summer has definitely ended, and I have stopped working on warm weather appropriate projects in the sewing room for the year.
As for this white eyelet top, it served its purpose, and works quite well as a separate with many of my skirts.
But will it ever be a favorite? Not likely. It will be an easy to wear option when I'm looking for a solid white top since I don't have many of them in the closet. But it's unlikely that I will make this pattern again.
It's more complicated than necessary, in my opinion. The gussets don't really do anything, so I am not sure why they are included.
Would I like this more if I sized down so it wasn't quite as oversized? Perhaps.
And I don't think my fabric choice was wrong, so that's not the issue. I am glad that I retrieved the project from the unfinished pile to at least figure out that it's not a design that I want to repeat.
But for a project that was not as successful as I had hoped, it still turned out completely wearable and is useful. So if I have to have a less than stellar outcome every once in a while, this is the kind that I am willing to deal with!
I think the eyelet is perfect fabric for this top but I think it looks a bit oversized and you may like it better when it's a bit smaller. I agree that having a white top is always very handy.
