doilies and top

Cool Summer Top
Cool Summer Top

This top I made using a pattern from an ex-library book my wonderful Mother bought for me, out of bed spread weight cotton.

Even though I need to wear a light weight cotton singlet underneath it is lovely and cool to get out and about in.

Things I would change: I joined the seams with slip stitch, I now know to do this with single crochet.

What is a creamer doing in my bedroom do I hear you ask? I am dairy intolerant so I use it for watering the three plants in my bedroom, they only need a little drink each day.
