Today I am sharing the Wildflower top I made. It’s another pattern from the Just Add Jeans Collection from Pattern Anthology. I really love this top, and the whole collection really because each top is so different, it really helped to build my wardrobe and it’s fun to be able to include so many pieces made by me. The style of the Wildflower could easily go dressy, but I am a pretty casual person so keeping it casual seemed to be best. Natural I decided on stripes, the more you see me sewing for myself the more you will realize I basically only wear stripes, and they are usually blue.
For the pictures we went down to the park, the day was beautiful the weather was perfection and the kids really just wanted to run around and play. The best pictures my husband took were the ones that weren’t “posed” they weren’t the ones of me forgetting how I normally stand, and normally smile, and normally walk, they were the ones where I was just doing what I normally do, just being a mom.
I liked that the pictures just captured real life and that wearing the shirt didn’t stop me from doing any of the things I normally do as a mom, and did them all comfortably.

Yes! I always dream about designing my own fabric line that is just stripes, in all colors and sizes. I swear I can never have enough.

I love this pattern collection and want to get it, and I will. I have so many sewing projects in line but I have been consumed by school the last few weeks. All of the tops I have seen so far have been awesome and they have inspired me to make something for myself! Love this one!!

I really like this top. Thanks for sharing your talent! I have some striped knit I would like to use. How much fabric would a size medium use? Just wondering, so I will know if I can make it or not.
