This little top with an heirloom vibe comes from Hot Pattern’s Artful Dodger Boudoir Tops pattern.  The pattern is out of print but you can see a picture at this link from their Etsy store

I used the pattern to create my own custom fitting version using Pattern Master Boutique software from Wild Ginger.  The top consists of a front pintucked panel, a front and back yoke, front and back side panels and a circular ruffle along the bottom.  Narrow lace tops several of the seams, and the neck and armholes are bound with bias strips.  In my version I eliminated the center back button closure.  The fabric is a heavy silk crepe with a buttery feel.  This is a perfect little camisole for wearing on its own or under a jacket.

It’s a cloudy, rainy day where I am but perfect weather for working on some sewing projects.  I hope you find some time for creativity this weekend.
